Lot Title: 1821 (O-107, R.3) NGC MS-61.
Description: Various of the seven die marriages for 1821 tend to be well produced, O-107 being one of them, even though it is the scarcest Overton variety for the date (R.3). Earlier dies are known to have produced fully prooflike examples, and although this particular specimen is not so struck, the details are exceptionally sharp, and extensive luster shimmers through the fields. To some extent, the fact that a silver coin of this vintage remains so exceedingly bright immediately calls into question original character, but there are no suspicious hairlines to be seen, and cartwheel effect is not subdued in the slightest. Indeed, it would be no surprise to see a higher grade attached to this half if not for a couple of moderately blunt scrapes nearly hidden in Liberty's bust.
Low Estimate: $1,950.00
High Estimate: $2,200.00

1821 (O-105a) ANACS AU-58.

1821 (O-106) VF, and an 1822 (O-104) XF.
1821 O-106 displays moderate flatness of expected of VF, but also features a nice, deft touch of ocean-blue toning splashed about the rims, accompanied by noticeable edge luster. 1822 O-104 features...
823The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$650.00
1821 (O-107, R.4) PCGS AU-50, and an 1826 (O-104, R.3) PCGS XF-45.
1821 O-107 offers platinum-grey patina with rust-gold accents and just enough luster to attain the AU grade level. The 1826 O-104 represents a textbook case of "silent net grade", with all the...
542The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$400.00
1821 (O-105a, R.1) ANACS AU-50.
The die crack above TAT on the reverse is not fully developed despite the ANACS attribution and die state of O-105a, but evidence of the developing die defect can be seen through other peripheral...
739The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$0.00
1821 (O-104a, R.2) AU.
CONSIGNOR: I always liked the early 1820s dates. This one has really bright green tone and not as much luster as some, but the luster is just subdued. I thought the stars on 1821 always looked...
740The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$0.00
1821 (O-106a, R.2) AU, prooflike.
CONSIGNOR: Just one of my favorite coins, prooflike, originally part of Forest Park, but I replaced it with a toned coin. I probably should keep this one, but I've learned that 1821s aren't that rare...
663The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$285.00
1821 (O-104, R.1) and 1830, Small 0, (O-115, EDS, R.2), XF.
The 1821 has nearly AU details and luster, but is a trifle pale in color and lacks a bit of mint luster in the fields, yielding a grade of XF-45. The 1830 features sparkling mint luster only in the...
487The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$475.00
1821 (O-101A, R.1) NGC AU-53.
Original mint luster sparkles from both sides in a fashion that seems typical of the bust half issues of 1821 and 1822. The patina is original and thins near the devices, where the flowlines were...
559The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$725.00
1821 O-103 PCGS XF-45.
Although moderately abraded and faintly glossy on the portrait, there is no denying the considerable visual enhancement brought about by the excellent album toning that has endowed all margins with a...
560The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$370.00
1821 O-105a XF-45 Details, Cleaned.
Relatively lightly cleaned as the abraded surfaces are only a little too white. Time spent in an album would help this coin considerably. The later die state is confirmed by the thin die crack above...
561The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$425.00
1821 O-105 PCGS AU-53.
Minimally toned, with luster that is a bit more subdued than typical for an 1821. A handful of bagmarks randomly strewn across both sides determine the grade.
562The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$400.00
1821 O-107 ANACS AU-58.
Fair and honest assessment requires your cataloger to call into question the origin of the toning on this ANACS encapsulated bust half. Although the color scheme is not entirely out of character for...

1821 O-106, R-1 AU-50.
