The Regency Auction 48

Lot Description: A near-GEM Draped Bust half cent with a great look and fantastic pedigree. High end and boldly lustrous with a lovely satin gleam. Rich, original golden brown surfaces show accents of olive and steely-brown patina which blend with very subtle hints of faded original mint color. The devices are generally very well struck for an early copper. Close inspection does reveal a few scattered teeny ticks. Overall the eye appeal is very strong. Ex.
