Lot Description

Richly toned with the “look” of an original bust half-dollar.  A prominent double profile, common on 1813s, adds character to this remnant of the early Mint.  A die break joins stars 1-7.  The coin never circulated.  A touch of cabinet friction on the chin probably cost it a CAC sticker.  All else, eye-appeal included, bespeaks a top-drawer MS 62.   Estimate: $3,200 to $4,000
