Heart of Ohio Early Half Dollars
1824/4

Owner Comments:

O.110a R2. Gardner. Per heritage cataloger, "Recut 4 Over 4 MS65 NGC. O-110a, R.2. This interesting variety is actually an 1824/4, recut 4, and not an 1824/1 overdate as sometimes assumed. While this variety is not considered rare, Gem-quality pieces are nonetheless elusive. This beautifully preserved, highly lustrous Gem example displays soft green-gold and lavender-gray hues blended across the obverse, while the reverse exhibits vivid concentric circles of teal, blue, and violet around a a deep golden center. The strike is above-average for the issue, with the only soft points seen on the right obverse stars." Prior sale Heritage Galleries Auction #1213 on June 23, 2914, Lot 30474. Obtained by private treaty with Carter Numismatics on August 4, 2014.
