1807 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-111b. Rarity-5. Large Stars, 50/20, Bearded Goddess. EF Details--Cleaned (PCGS).Retoned quite nicely in dominant pewter gray, the obverse periphery exhibits slightly bolder olive-gray patina. The strike is nicely centered and well executed, all design elements remaining bold to sharp in the presence of minimal wear. Light hairlining is evident as the surfaces rotate under a light, explaining the PCGS qualifier. Overton-111b is the popular -- and scarce -- late state of this die marriage, the reverse with the 50/20 blunder and the obverse with a prominent die crack joining Libertys chin to the top of the bust and continuing irregularly to its base above the digit 1 in the date. With plenty of sharp detail and a relatively pleasing appearance, this coin has much to offer the Bust half dollar variety enthusiast.From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection.
