1832 O-101 Large Letters NGC AU-50. 1832 O-101 Large Letters NGC AU-50.
Lot Title: 1832 O-101 Large Letters NGC AU-50.
Description: Hardly any bust half in the Overton series is more easily attributed than 1832 O-101. The garish die break across the left reverse identifies it immediately as the “large letters” reverse. The allure of this particular example is unmistakable as well. Electrifying rainbows of color resonate completely around both sides with remarkable concentric precision, illustrating the proper progression of colors that confirm this as an original album-stored coin. The strike is typically attenuated, as the dies were unable to impart sharp detail due to their damaged state. It is an unfortunate fact of today’s numismatic environment that many coins of the early 19th century have been callously cleaned in an often misguided attempt to improve their eye appeal, and therefore their salability, so when an utterly original coin of this quality is available, the connoisseur is well advised to take advantage of the opportunity. Few 1832 O-101s will be able to match the faultlessly originality of the present gem, and fewer still can compare from the standpoint of pure aesthetics. A genuinely remarkable coin.

Lot #AuctionCurrent Bid or Hammer PriceDescription
700The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$400.00
Four better 1832 die marriages.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Each die-marriage here (one is repeated) appears to be worthy of at least an R.4 rarity estimate, and all deliver pretty strong details, along with some caveats. ...
701The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$4,900.00
1832 NGC MS-65.
Brock Megran Collection. Solid details include curvature that has been almost completely brought up by the dies, with only trivial incompleteness seen here and there, such as on the bottom right...
702The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$330.00
1832 Large Letters (O-101a) AU.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Smoky beige patina settles over rather frosty surfaces to provide a nice presentation at AU-50. In this case, our assessment exceeds the consignor's XF-45 grade,...
703The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$475.00
1832 (O-111) AU.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. It's easy to see why the consignor called this an "unc" given the extensive luster and near-blazing eye-appeal. Edge toning splashes the tiny areas just outside...
704The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$380.00
1832 (O-115) AU.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Perhaps a bit overly white until not so long ago, the rims show evidence of recovered toning, as if the coin has spent some time in an album after being dipped. ...
705The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$320.00
1832 (O-116) AU/hairlines.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. A strongly doubled profile shows up immediately under magnification. Each side shows heavy white frost which suggests both a pair of very worn dies, but also some...
706The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$1,400.00
1832 (O-119) AU.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Rather charming and most definitely very attractive rim toning begins as a bright, narrow cobalt ring at the extreme edge, then advances rapidly through...
707The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$1,150.00
1832 (O-121), UNC/planchet streak.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. A planchet streak rests right smack dab in the middle of the obverse, landing errantly on the portrait and causing a downgrade from what should otherwise be MS-63....
708The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$240.00
1832 (O-122) AU.
Ronald Zink Early Type Collection. Terrific vibrancy will suggest a slightly higher grade to some bidders, but the surface is a trifle too bright for silver of this vintage, resulting in a slight...
642The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$425.00
1832 NGC UNC details/improperly cleaned.
Any hairlines that might lead to NGC's "cleaned" disclaimer may be well hidden by some mulberry toning that sweeps gently across each side, as there is no obvious evidence of cleaning. Indeed, there...
567The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$320.00
1832 (0-109, R.4) PCGS AU-53.
Better as an R.4 die-marriage for 1832, the Red Book calls this a "small letters" variety. This is an evenly detailed example that enjoys percolating luster and pleasant medium-grey patina, dashed...
825The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$260.00
1832 Small Letters (O-106, R.1) NGC AU-53.
Star 1 is a nicely recut at the southwest point, and the very bottom tip of the shield on the reverse shows the diagnostic defect for O-106, a common die-marriage. Sparse luster can be seen in the...
551The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$360.00
1832 "Small Letter Reverse" (O-103, R.1) AU.
A die lump on the drapery fold and recut "5" in the denomination are usually given as the diagnostics for attribution, but an aberration in Liberty's cap just next to the eight star is another...
761The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$390.00
1832 "Large Letters" (O-101, R.2) NGC AU-50.
CONSIGNOR: As you know, I bought this coin from a Scotsman auction a couple of years ago, and thought it went much too cheap at the time, which was great for me, no complaints here! I love this...
762The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$475.00
1832 "Small Letters" (O-102, R.1) AU.
CONSIGNOR: So close to BU, not too bright but [darned] nice color. CATALOGER: Exquisite album color graces this entire coin with excellent symmetry, adding peach-gold and plush blue accents to the...
494The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$390.00
1832 (O-116, R.3) AU Cleaned.
Strict evaluation shows that there is some rub on several high points, yet this late date bust half is very close to mint state sharpness. Unfortunately, an errant attempt to clean it and produce the...
577The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$190.00
1832 Capped Bust half-dollar, XF-45
Despite a formal grade of only XF-45, the pretty rim toning that surrounds both sides lends premium appeal. Technically, this coin is extremely close to grading fully "about uncirculated", but the...
595The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$450.00
1832 O-122 XF-45, 1834 O-101 XF, and 1836 O-110 XF.
All of the bust halves comprising this lot are choice, original coins with flawless surface quality, absolutely no signs of cleaning, and no other problems at all. An 1832 O-122 leads off. It is a...
597The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$575.00
1832 O-122 Small Letters PCGS AU-53.
Semi-prooflike fields appear on both sides, though the reverse is a bit more reflective than the obverse. If not for nominal wear abrading the fields just a bit, this coin would be an amazing piece. ...
598The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$475.00
1832 O-122 AU-55.
Frothy platinum-grey luster shimmers gracefully within the protected areas, while graphite color gently washes over the highpoints. Mark free aside from a short, nearly invisible hairline on...
560The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$425.00
1832 MS-60 Scratched.
This is a blazing white Bust Half that has a ton of luster and a great strike. Unfortunately, there is a small scratch on the obverse.
1432The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$800.00
1832 O-111, R-1. NGC MS-62.
This "Small Letters 50C" variety exudes gorgeous shimmering luster that complements its lovely pastel aspect. A few ticks and flecks are indicated for accuracy. A nicely struck issue.
