1823 "3, Die Crack" (O-106a, R.2) XF. 1823 "3, Die Crack" (O-106a, R.2) XF.
Lot Title: 1823 "3, Die Crack" (O-106a, R.2) XF.
Description: Reflectivity is suppressed by thick, murky tone, yet remnants of luster may still be seen in the protected edge areas. A dig above the eagle's head must be noted.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $370.00
High Estimate: $425.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.
Hammered Price: $310.00

Lot #AuctionCurrent Bid or Hammer PriceDescription
657The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$360.00
1823 (O-111a) and 1834 Large Date, Small Letters (O-104).
Courteous Collection of Early Type. 1823 O-111a offers dusky grey that cedes to ebony coloration toward the rims, and should grade VF-30. 1834 O-104 gleams with plenty of luster that should allow...
637The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$600.00
1823 (O-103) NGC AU-53.
A new copy of the fifth edition of Overton's famed "United States Early Half Dollar Varieties" arrived at Scotsman International Headquarters just in time to attribute O-103 as the die-marriage...
638The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$1,225.00
1823 (O-106a) PCGS AU-58.
Sometimes referenced as the "tampered 3", O-106a features a bit of distortion at the junction of the loops in the final digit of the date. Excellent luster roams the fields of this slightly prooflike...
639The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$1,450.00
1823 (O-105) NGC MS-61.
Seemingly undergraded given the blistering luster that roams the fields, with delightful frosty texture in the fields, especially right above the date. Intriguing veins of cobalt-blue and...
697The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$600.00
1823 (O-104) PCGS AU-50.
7070 Collection. Toning reflects the classic situation of an album coin, quite likely a Wayte Raymond folder that imparted wide bands of pleasing pastel-rainbow colors concentrically and...
566The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$300.00
1823 and two 1830, attributed by NGC.
Comparable details prevail for this trio, reflecting grades within about ten points of each other. 1823 O-104 (VF/cleaned) probably has VF-25 details, and the cleaning is not excessive since some...
479The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$600.00
1823 (O-104, R.3) PCGS AU-50.
"2" is low in the date, and the center dot is indented, aiding attribution of O-104, and R.3 die marriage. Nicely struck, with doubling of the profile readily evident below the chin and on the...
480The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$1,050.00
1823 (O-106, R.3) NGC MS-61.
"3" is well formed and taller than the neighboring "2" in the date, which advances attribution rapidly to O-106, listed as an R.3 die marriage. Obviously mint-state, the surfaces exhibit sparkling...
544The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$575.00
1823 (O-112, R.1) AU details/questionable color.
Fully uncirculated and well struck, nearly every aspect of a gem grade characterizes this eye-catching bust half. Full, strong luster shimmers around the satin textured fields, and all devices...
744The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$1,150.00
3x 1823: Broken 3 (O-101, R.3), Irregular 3 (O-106a, R.1) and Ugly 3...
1823 is, of course, a veritable treasure trove of die varieties for the bust half collector, and this lot is comprised of a trio featuring irregularities with the "3". Included are: 1823 O-101...
745The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$300.00
1823 "Reworked 3" (O-106a, R.2) NGC XF-45 Insert.
CONSIGNOR: Another pretty Reiver coin. I kept the insert with it and hope Scotsman's pictures are better than the ones from the auction. CATALOGER: (Ex. Heritage 1/27/2006: 22878) Envelope and NGC...
746The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$381.00
1823 "Tall 3" (O-112, R.1) AU.
CONSIGNOR: This was just a type coin for a while, not meant to go into the Forest Park set. But I really like the luster and it's awful to unc. Really, not much wear you can see anywhere. ...
747The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$450.00
1823 "Normal 3" (O-107, R.2) AU.
CONSIGNOR: One of the best. Tons and tons of color on this one, more blue and green than anything else. And I always like the 1823s, just all the other early 1820s. CATALOGER: Lavish iridescence...
564The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$330.00
1823 O-101 VF-20 and 1823 O-110 XF-45.
The 1823 O-101a “patched 3” grades VF-20 and the 1823 O-110 grades XF-45. The latter coin is similar to the “ugly three” and “patched three” varieties, but has no imaginative name in the Overton...
565The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$425.00
1823 O-106a PCGS VF-35, 1823 O-103 NGC VF-35, and 1825 O-115 PCGS...
All three of these coins feature dense, original patination, but the 1823 O-106a is notable for the extent of thick crust across both sides. Very nice! The 1823 O-103 displays classic originality,...
566The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$600.00
1823 O-104 NGC AU-55.
This is a fantastic Capped Bust half. Although technically graded perfectly by NGC (as AU-55), the holder fails to mention that this coin is – especially on the reverse – significantly prooflike. ...
567The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$675.00
1823 O-103 PCGS AU-50 and 1826 O-110 NGC AU-58 .
The 1823 is admittedly a little weak for the assigned grade level of AU-50, as one might hope to see a bit more luster in the fields, though some bluntness of strike may be characteristic of the...
568The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$1,150.00
1823 O-105 NGC AU-58.
1823 is a fascinating date, well known for the number of wacky problems the mint had in getting the digits to look right on the half dollars. This is the year responsible for the “ugly three,”...
569The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$2,900.00
1823 O-108a PCGS MS-64.
Over time, as it is used to strike hard, metal planchets, finer details of the design incused into a die are lost through die wear, and deterioration of the die itself slowly transpires. Inadvertent...
579The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$650.00
1823 O-104, R-3. AU-58++.
This visually stunning specimen has resplendent surfaces that are enhanced by an exquisite blue iridescence that accents the motifs. A radiant orange-gold glow encircles these chief design elements. ...
1415The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$625.00
1823 O-104, R-3. AU-58++.
The satiny silver-gray surfaces of this issue are enhanced by intertwined hues of rose and blue. Some unobtrusive ticks and flecks, as would be expected for this grade level, are described for...
1416The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$1,400.00
1823 O-103, R-2 ANACS MS-62.
The delightful, pewter-gray surfaces are embellished with crimson-gold and blue hues. Their satinlike aspect glistens beneath these exceptional tones. Any ticks or flecks detected with a glass are...
