This year begins a marked increase in the production of half dollars. During the perior from 1807 through 1823, the single highest mintage year was 1819 with a coinage of 2,208,000. From 1824 through the end of this design type in 1836, the lowest mintage year was 1825 with a coinage of 2,943,166 coins. With this increase in coinage is a general increase in the number of die marriages produced.

In 1824, the total coinage was 3,504,954 half dollars from a combination of 14 obverse dies and 16 reverse dies. Seventeen die marriages were produced including those with the final digit over a previous 1, others with the 4 recut, and one variety with multiple recuttings, sometimes described as 1824/3/2 or 1824/3/0 but best referred to as "1824 over Various Dates." Two die marriages are considered rare with one other very scarce.

The Logan Collection includes 19 half dollars representing 16 of these 17 varieties, and also provides an intriguing 1824 half dollar used to produce an 1893 Columbian Exposition elongate. The coin in the Logan envelope labeled O-116 turned out to be an example of O-117. Therefore, O-116 is not represented in the following offering.

The reverse has light peripheral die cracks.
