1829/7 O.101a Capped Bust half, PCGS XF45, very choice PQ+ DavidKahnRareCoins

Description

1829/7 O.101a Capped Bust half dollar, PCGS XF45.
Note that this is Die State 101.2, 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).
Interestingly, the "1829/7" is the only 4-digit overdate in the entire Bust half dollar series.  Each digit has been punched over another, earlier numeral.  In fact, the 2 used in 1829 had a Curled base, and the 2 that was already in the die had a Square base.  So, what we're really dealing with here is an "1829 over 1827, Curl-base 2 over Square-base 2" variety.  That sure is a mouthful!  Regardless of what you prefer to call it, this is a spectacular coin, with sweet, original antique toning and enough luster underlying to quality as AU!  In fact, it rather looks AU to us!
