Lot Description

Hints of pastel gold blend with lustrous, largely untoned surfaces.  Choice AU examples of draped bust half-dollars are always in demand – especially overdates and Red Bookvarieties.  This example was last offered by Legend in its July 2017 sale, lot 189.  Steve snagged it at $4,818, sixteen months after Heritage sold it for $5,640 in March 2016.  PCGS’ Price Guide now suggests $6,000.   Estimate: $4,500 to $5,500
