Lot Description

FROM THE HUNTER COLLECTION. Ex Link Collection, as noted on the holder. A sultry, satiny lustrous silver sheen is accented by a warm golden-pewter hue caresses the well struck surfaces of this Mint State Capped Bust half. Struck from heavily clashed dies, the majority of what you see in the fields are clash marks (though we note a few light lines and a tick in the left obverse field for accuracy and a darker spot in the eagle's talon is also seen). What look like obverse ticks on the rim are actually the edge letters peaking over the edge, as the planchet was not fully centered in the castasing machine when they were applied. The eye appeal is bold for sure. PCGS 11, NGC 10. The most recent example sold for $2,530 in August 2018 and the current Collector's Universe value is listed at $3,700. What a great opportunity to buy an early date Capped Bust half dollar in Mint State for a very reasonable level. We can see strong demand for a collector coin like this! Cert. Number 28725815 PCGS # 006097
