Lot Description

1812 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-103. Rarity-1. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. Mottled steel-blue and olive-russet highlights to a base of pewter-gray, the reverse exhibits deeper sandy-gray in the center with more vivid cobalt blue peripheral toning. This is an uncommonly sharp, remarkably smooth survivor of an early date issue in the popular and widely collected Capped Bust half dollar series. The Condition Census for this common die pairing of the date is populated by MS-65 examples, per Stephen J. Herrman's Autumn 2021 listing, this premium Choice coin just shy of that standing. Worthy of the strongest bids. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection, Part II. PCGS# 6100. NGC ID: 24EW. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
