1807 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-112. Rarity-1. Large Stars, 50/20. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Exceptionally attractive for both the issue and the assigned grade, this near0fully lustrous example is aglow with a satin to softly frosted finish. Lightly toned in iridescent champagne-apricot, more so on the reverse than the obverse, both sides possess a good quality of strike for a die pairing that is almost somewhat soft in the centers. Always in demand among early half dollar variety collectors, the 1807 50/20 is not only an obvious die preparation blunder that is evident to the naked eye, but it also enjoys its own listing in the popular <em>Guide Book</em> reference on United States coins. Two die marriages are known for this variety, employing the same reverse but different obverses. Overton-112 is the more common in terms of total number of coins extant, although in Choice AU and Mint State it is scarce and eagerly sought. From the Abigail Collection, Part II.
