1812/1 50C Large 8 VF30 PCGS O-101, R.5. According to the United States Early Half Dollar Die Varieties, 1794-1836, (4th Ed.): "The only rare variety is the O-101 which is one of the two over-date varieties for the year. This rare variety has the large 8 in the date." This example is a well struck specimen, with the reverse die rotated clockwise by approximately twenty degrees. Modest wear is consistent with the grade, and few surface marks are apparent; a couple of shallow pin scratches are noted on the upper reverse, near the eagle's head. The pearl-gray coloration turns lighter on the highpoints. An attractive VF coin which will satisfy the needs of a serious early half dollar specialist. (PCGS 6102)
