Lot Description

1834 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-113. Rarity-1. Small Date, Small Letters. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. A beautiful example of both the type and variety, both sides exhibit cobalt blue peripheral toning around pinkish-silver centers. Highly lustrous in a satiny finish, predominantly sharp striking detail further enhances this coin's desirability. The 1834 O-113 die pairing may be plentiful in an absolute sense, but the present near-Gem is tied for CC#1 per the listing in the Spring 2018 revision to Stephen J. Herrman's Auction & Mail Bid Prices for Bust Half Dollars: 1794-1839. Provenance: From Heritage's FUN Signature Auction of January 2006, lot 2693. PCGS# 6166.
