1809. Experimental edge, "IIIII" between words. Over-
ton-108, Rarity 4
.
PCGS graded VF-30.
CAC Approved
.
Nice light gray toning. There are four different types of edge
varieties in 1809. These edges are plain edge, XXX edge and
IIIII edge, with the fourth edge being a pseudo engraved in
front of FIFTY found only on O-106. The devices are located
between the words DOLLAR and FIFTY. The IIIII (five bars)
edge shows the bars between the words OR and HALF as well
as between the words DOLLAR and FIFTY. (

1810. Overton-103, Rarity 2
.
PCGS graded AU-50
. Well
struck with dark antique toning. Average hair detail at center,
but much better struck on the eagle. Attractive color and origi-
nality. The estimated mintage of 1,276,276 half dollars this year
was completed using nine obverse dies and ten reverses. This
combination of nineteen obverse and reverse dies produced ten
separated varieties or marriages for 1810. Although the 1810
half dollars contain no varieties with rarity above scarce, no
overdates or other popular varieties, this date is still diligently
searched by collectors for well preserved, strongly struck speci-
mens which are the exception and not the rule. As in 1809,
weakly struck coins prevail.
Pop 1; 4 finer for the variety, 2
in 53, 1 in 55, 1 in 64.

1810. Overton-106a, Rarity 3
.
PCGS graded VF-30
. Nice
light toning. Later die state in which the rim appears flattened,
something that happened in the minting process, apparently
something lodged against or in the die and, whatever it was, it
moved, as the rim flattening appears in several different posi-
tions. According to Donald Parsley, in his description of this
unusual subvariety O-106a, "some specialists and researchers
believe that this problem with flattened areas on the obverse
and reverse rims or segment areas of the coin was caused by
the edge lettering machinery." (
