Lot Description

An enticing example of this rare die pair – not far from the Condition Census.  Sunset colors surround the devices.  Stars 1-7 are alive with electric turquoise and russet iridescence.  The sole distraction is a spot of dark toning between D and S of the legend.  I repeat the admonition to perk up and pay attention whenever an R.5 capped bust half-dollar graded AU becomes available.  Est. $1,500 to $2,000.
