1813 - O.110 R.1 PCGS MS 63
A pristine survivor from the early mint. The toning is unquestionably original and of ancient origin. The surfaces are a dream, virtually free of contact marks (the obverse wholly so). Had the coin not been struck from a severely worn obverse die, first used on the O.103, we would expect a gem designation. If our winning bidder is ever asked whether he or she has an “original” bust half, this is the coin to be put on display. This date is far more difficult to find in mint state than bust halves dated 1811 or 1812. The PCGS Price Guide currently suggests $5,500 for an MS 63 1813. Est. $4,500 to $5,500.
