Description du lot

1822/1 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-101. Rarity-1. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. This satin to softly frosted example retains full luster and displays smooth well-preserved surfaces at the assigned grade level. Overall sharply defined, as well, with attractive iridescent toning in steely-mauve and powder blue. This popular variety has long been listed as an overdate per Overton's classification, although Stephen J. Herrman's AMBPR for Bust half dollars carries the interesting note, "Variety is NOT an overdate!" In any case, this is a particularly desirable Mint State example that is sure to see spirited bidding. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. PCGS# 6130. NGC ID: 24FH.
