Description

1827 O.127 R5 Square Base 2 Capped Bust half dollar, PCGS G details, code 98 for graffiti.
Note that this is Die State 127.1, as described by the very informative, new BHNC publication, "Die State Progressions of the Capped Bust Half Dollar Die Varieties 1807-1836" (which is available from us exclusively, either here on ebay or on our website).
Back when we started collecting Bust half dollars by Overton variety, you simply couldn't find one of these anywhere.  All of the collectors we knew back then, us included, searched and searched, to no avail.  That was in the mid 1980's.  In the late 80's, a raw VF sold for a staggering 00 in a Superior sale, the most expensive R5 Bust half ever, at that time!  By the mid 1990's, a funny thing happened.  These started to show up, maybe one a year or one every two years, but that was a huge improvement over earlier results.  These days, the 27-127 is a mid-range R5, though a choice XF (or better) would still be cause for major celebration.  Here we have a pleasing, original example, though someone did place a very faint P or D in the left obverse field.  Still, the look is quite nice overall and the coin is rare.  There still aren't enough of these to go around, so if your set has this hole to fill, then perhaps this is just what you've been looking for.  Enjoy, and good luck!
