1826 50C O-109 MS (PCGS#39678)

June 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1826 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-109. Rarity-1. MS-64 (NGC). A lively satin to modestly semi-reflective finish greets the viewer from both sides of this captivating near-Gem. Otherwise brilliant, wisps of iridescent reddish-apricot and cobalt blue toning decorate isolated peripheral areas. The major design elements are crisply impressed with razor sharp detail, and the eye appeal is outstanding. Although Overton-109 is a plentiful die marriage of the 1826-dated half dollar issue in an absolute sense, the Condition Census tops out at MS-64 according to the listing in the Spring 2020 revision to Stephen J. Herrman's AMBPR. The present example is included in the Herrman census, and it is eagerly awaiting inclusion in an advanced Capped Bust half dollar variety set or high grade type collection. Provenance: From the Dazzling Rarities Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of the Southeast Kansas Collection, August 2017 Denver ANA Signature Auction, lot 4994. PCGS# 39678. NGC ID: 24FM.
