1814/3 -  O.101a R.2 PCGS AU 58


Lightly toned with full, flashy luster.  The surfaces display the usual assortment of die breaks and clash marks but show virtually no signs of contact with other coins.  The `14 over `13 is a bust half with character.  It reminds us how precious working dies were in the early Mint.  Unused dies were polished, punched and put to service in later years.  Worn and damaged dies were used until they fell apart.  This Red Book variety is plentiful in low and mid-grade.  Choice AU examples are another matter.  Est. $3,800 to $4,500.
