Lot Description

Ex Louis Eliasberg.  This was lot 1832 in the April 1997 sale of Eliasberg’s bust halves, where it sold at a modest $1,760.  It has the familiar “look” of his early half-dollars.  A silver patina adorns the surfaces, darker through the stars and legend.  The strike is first rate.  Luster is deep and undisturbed.  A quality coin with an unsurpassed provenance.    Estimate: $2,200 to $2,700
