Lot Description

Stunning quality for this popular overdate and a coin that offers toning that tops even the towering quality of the surfaces. The obverse sports rich aqua, teal, and russet in the fields and periphery, perfectly matched on the reverse where the shades are colorful and not too dark, and invite lingering study. The overdate is a complex knot with the 8 seen roughly down the center of the 9, and another remnant digit or date punch fragment lies low and to the right of the 9. The reverse shows thin radial die cracks which greatly advance as more of these half dimes were struck on other coins known. A delightful coin! PCGS 6, NGC 9, CAC 2. Only one of the PCGS coins is a “+” and you see it right here. A single auction record for this grade is noted from an NGC MS67+ that brought $9,988.00 (2/15), and this PCGS CAC coin will undoubtedly bring more. This coin is being sold with no reserve.
