1822 50C Overton 114 Capped Bust Half Dollar PCGS MS65 CAC

1822 O-114 Half Dollar, MS65 Census Level Example, CAC Ex: Link-Gerrie 1822 50C O-114, R.3, MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Link. The 1822 O-114 variety is an important condition rarity in the Capped Bust half dollar series -- both for its date and for its die marriage. The finest O-114 examples offered in recent years include the Eliasberg SP66 PCGS coin, and two outstanding PCGS MS65 examples, including the present Gem (Ex: Link-Gerrie) and the Ex: Friend piece. Both MS65 coins offer exceptional surface quality, strike, and eye appeal. This remarkable Gem stands out for its delicate golden-brown toning over fully lustrous surfaces. The strike is pinpoint sharp despite the usual die state with contiguous die cracks encircling the outer reverse legends. Partially reflective fields host wisps of attractive, deep-blue peripheral toning, enhancing the visual presence of this impressive half dollar. From The Paul Gerrie Collection.
