Lot Description

Richly Original Choice Uncirculated 1828 O-102 Half Dollar 1828 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-102. Rarity-2. Curl Base No Knob 2. MS-63+ (PCGS). A handsome piece that sports undeniably original surfaces on both sides. Framed by halos of intense cobalt blue peripheral color, the centers are toned in softer sandy-gold and mauve-gray patina. Impressively smooth for the assigned grade, a bit more "flash" to full mint luster would likely have secured an even higher grade from PCGS. Judy shy of Condition Census for the 1828 Overton-102 dies, per the listing in the Autumn 2021 revision to Stephen J. Herrman's AMBPR, this noteworthy example is sure to sell for a nice premium. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection, Part II. PCGS# 6148. NGC ID: 24FR. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
