Losbeschreibung

1839 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. GR-7. Rarity-1. HALF DOL. MS-62 (PCGS). Although the 1839 Capped Bust half dollar is not immediately recognizable as a key date in worn grades (for such pieces are relatively available) at the Mint State level, as here, it emerges as a scarcity. The present coin is an originally toned example with intermingled shades of russet-brown, purple and gray over each side. The obverse is quite well struck with all the hair detail present, several of the star centers are a little soft, sharp dentils, and everything else in good order. The reverse follows suit with all of the eagle's feathers intact, bold letters, and sharp dentils. A treat to the eye. PCGS# 6179. NGC ID: 24G6. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
