- 1808 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-104. Rarity-2. MS-64 (NGC). Deeply and richly toned, both sides exhibit dominant copper-rose patina that blends with more vivid cobalt-blue highlights at the borders. Uncommonly sharp in strike for an early date Half Dollar of this type, smooth-looking surfaces are also a praiseworthy attribute. A handsome and conditionally scarce offering for the advanced collector of Capped Bust Halves.
