Lot Description

Ex Howard Sharfman  Here is the set piece in Howard Sharfman’s remarkable Everyman Registry Set of Capped Bust Half-Dollars.  Sharfman sold his set to me not long before the January 2019 FUN Show.  This gorgeous 1837 did not last long.  Tim acquired it during the show.  Golden-brown toning.  The centers are lighter, infused with splashes of pale gold.  Luster radiates throughout.  Nice coin for the type collector.   Estimate: $1,000 to $1,300
