Description du lot

1809 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-111. Rarity-2. AU-53 (PCGS). A bright and lustrous AU example whose surfaces are brilliant apart from the lightest iridescent gold that flashes into view as the coin rotates under a light. This is a sharp early die state of this variety, both sides exhibiting bold detail for the assigned grade with the reverse border fully and uniformly denticulated. The fifth edition of the Overton early half dollar reference has this to say about the 1809 O-111: "Usually no milling at all or at best only a trace on this reverse." Sure to catch the eye of series specialists. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 39396. NGC ID: 24ES. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
