Description du lot

When offering his consignment, Keith said this about the 1820, “Poster child grey dirt; love the original, antique toning; can’t tell you how many offers I’ve had over the years for this lowly AU 50.  It was part of a lot (with the preceding 1813) in B&M’s Nov. 1985 Emery/Nichols Sale.  They were the first bust halves I ever bought.  I kept both as my Overton set pieces.  So rare for circulated coins to be so attractive, original and well preserved.” Estimate: $1,100 to $1,500
