R5 		Choice $3500 New March 31! Choice Original, Twin Lakes Collection.. Silver centers give way to russet and charcoal patina at the rims of this Square Base 2 example. Fields are hairline-free and the “originality factor” is strong. O-123, an R5 die pairing with the top of 2 slightly lower that the other digits in the date. On the reverse, there is a die lump above the scroll at the first E. The highest examples of the O-123 variety listed at the Early Half Dollar Information site are three pieces in AU58. The AMPBR publication, for Capped Bust half dollar auction records, indicates that this variety has traded at the $3000 level with only a single auction record at AU58. The CAC price guide value is $870 but one should expect a substantial rarity premium to be incorporated into the reserve. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval.
