Lot Description

1836 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Lettered Edge. O-112. Rarity-2. Bar Dot. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. Handsome, fully original surfaces exhibit outlines of vivid cobalt blue and rose-apricot iridescence to the design elements, softer pearl-gray elsewhere. The Bar Dot variety is not noted on the PCGS insert, but its diagnostics are clearly evident on the obverse in the date area. As well, a die line joining the two lowest arrows confirms the reverse of the O-112 attribution. Lustrous, uncommonly attractive for the assigned grade, and worthy of strong bids. PCGS# 6169.
