Lot Description

1826 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-119. Rarity-4-. MS-61 (PCGS). Blundered Edge Lettering: the words OR and HALF are punched over one another. Vivid steel-olive and cobalt blue peripheral iridescence yields to lighter antique gold tinting toward the centers. The strike is nicely centered on both sides with virtually all design elements sharply rendered. Uncommonly smooth in hand for the assigned grade with pleasing luster, this is a superior quality BU example of a moderately scarce 1826 half dollar die pairing. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 39693. NGC ID: 24FM. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
