Lot Description

Here is a lovely Brilliant Uncirculated 1818/7 half dollar. Boasting a rich cobalt, battleship, slate, and teal blanket on the obverse, and a similar toning scheme on the reverse with orange-rose in the central devices giving it a pretty, old-time collector look. We have seen similarly toned coins sold in classic, old time collection sales. A bold luster glows with a striking brilliance from under the beautiful color bringing it to life. The devices are sharply struck in general, with only some minor bluntness on some of the eagle's feathers. Here is a very pretty coin that borders on the CHOICE category and boasts a great look. PCGS 10, NGC 1. From our sale of the Konstantine Collection, this coin was purchased by our customer for $7,344. Prior to that, the most recent example sold for $6,000 in April 2018; that coin did not have the splendid toning that this one possesses. Worthy of a premium bid for sure! Cert.
