Lot Description

This newcomer to the census for the 1819/8 O-104 dies is unlisted in the Autumn 2024 revision to Stephen J. Herrman's AMBPR for Bust half dollars, based on which list it is tied for CC#5. Both sides display elegant toning with halos of vivid cobalt blue and antique gold peripheral iridescence framing slightly more reserved centers in silver-apricot. Softly frosted in finish with a sharp strike and uncommonly smooth appearance for the assigned grade. Specialists in Capped Bust half dollar varieties will want to pursue this offering with vigor. Die State 104.1.
