1829 "Small Letters" (O-113a, R.2) NGC AU-53 Insert, Jules Reiver. 1829 "Small Letters" (O-113a, R.2) NGC AU-53 Insert, Jules Reiver.
Lot Title: 1829 "Small Letters" (O-113a, R.2) NGC AU-53 Insert, Jules Reiver.
Description: CONSIGNOR: I got caught up in "Reiver fever" just like everyone else, and you know I got a few of his coins out of the sale. Not just busties, either, I have several copper pieces put away. This half is one of the best. Not too high grade, pretty expensive 'cause of the pedigree, but just an awesome look. I passed on most of the Reiver coins that weren't really that nice, or toned on just one side, but this one is a beauty. The color's the same on both sides! CATALOGER: (Ex. Stack's 1/28/1988: 4558 to Jules Reiver to Heritage 1/27/2006: 23124) NGC insert and envelope included, although it interestingly notes state "b" for this die marriage, while NGC (correctly) settled on "a". A fabulously original coin whose eye appeal is underscored by perfectly complementary rings of bright aquamarine iridescence around each side. The lovely tone presses gently into the inner reaches of the obverse stars and reverse peripheral lettering, while the balance of the coin maintains more typical orange-grey appeal and generous luster. Just faintly worn on the highpoints and properly graded AU-55 from the Forest Park Collection.

686The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$400.00
1829 (O-107) UNC/cleaned.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. While basically showing no signs of wear, the luster has become a bit subdued on account of a mildly abrasive cleaning. Nicely impressed and likely a bargain...
687The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$330.00
1829 (O-112) NGC AU-55.
Auto Mark Collection. Slate-grey patina endows the fields, ceding to a navy-blue toning crescent above Liberty's cap, while the obverse displays similar coloration except the crescent places at the...
688The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$625.00
1829 (O-113a) AU/reverse cleaned.
Ronald Zink Early Type Collection. Exceedingly bright for the age of the silver, the near-pristine surfaces are thereby allowed to throw off basically full cartwheel effect, with vibrant bands...
689The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$1,175.00
1829 (O-114) AU.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Aluminum-beige patina plays over active and virtually full luster to generate a lot of eye-appeal for this scarcer die-marriage. AU-55 concurs nicely with the...
690The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$625.00
1829 (O-116, R.3+) AU.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Fabulous eye-appeal derives from rolling edge-luster that illuminates album toning, with amber-gold visible toward the rims of both sides, along with some pastel...
641The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$2,100.00
1829 (O-105, R.1) PCI, as described.
One can debate whether another grading service would (or should) concur with PCI's "prooflike" designation, and the merits of that discussion are valid, but one can also trust the eyes and see very...
824The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$365.00
1829 (O-117, R.2) AU/cleaned/questionable color.
Sharpness is very near the UNC level, aside from some softness at the peak of the cap and in the back curls. The coin has been lightly polished for no good reason, as remnants of luster suggest it...
549The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$390.00
1829 (O-117, R.2) AU details/questionable color.
Retention of considerable luster is quite a feat, since the fields have been rather ill-used at some point in the past, and show some subtle hairlining under careful examination. Thick patina appears...
758The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$210.00
1829 (O-113, R.1) XF/cleaned.
A mild to moderate cleaning is partially responsible for the slightly reflective appearance seen in the fields, yet a lot of original sparkling luster dances between the peripheral devices. ...
582The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$210.00
1829 O-115 XF and 1832 O-103 VF.
Hints of very subdued luster confirm an XF-40 grade for the 1829, while the 1832 grades VF-35. A pair of similar appearing coins. Two coin lot.
583The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$625.00
1829 PCGS AU-55 and 1830 "small 0" O-117 NGC AU-55.
Both of these coins are generally white in appearance and display rather consistently average strikes. NGC has incorrectly attributed the 1830 bust half as O-103. The correct attribution is O-117,...
584The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$675.00
1829 NNC MS-63.
This coin housed in a NNC holder appears to be overgraded. The more appropriate grade would be MS-60. The coin appears to be Uncirculated, but it does not have much in the way of luster. A bit of...
585The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$3,000.00
1829 O-105 PCGS MS-64.
O-105 is possibly the most common die marriage for 1829, and more importantly for the type collector, several examples probably qualify to be graded at or near the Gem level. The present example,...
559The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$360.00
1829 O-103, R-1. NGC AU-55.
This resplendent example glows with a white radiance. Some random marks and scuffs appear on this prominently struck issue.
1426The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$450.00
1829 O-114, R-3. NGC AU-58.
A delightful array of mauve mottled toning permeates the satiny lustrous surfaces of this aesthetically pleasing issue. A couple light hairlines and speckles are detected, but are not obtrusive on...
588The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$750.00
1829 PCI MS-63.
This is an amazingly white Capped Bust Half Dollar. It is the type of coin that discriminating coin collectors put in their Type Sets. It is 100% original with no toning or distractions.
