Lot Description

1822/1 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-101. Rarity-1. MS-61 (NGC). A bright, frosty example with brilliant surfaces that allow full appreciation of booming mint luster. Sharply to fully struck with only wispy marks and a trace of friction precluding a higher Mint State grade. This popular variety has long been listed as an overdate per Overton's classification, although Stephen J. Herrman's AMBPR for Bust half dollars carries the interesting note, "Variety is NOT an overdate!" In any case, this is a particularly desirable Mint State example that is sure to see spirited bidding. PCGS# 39604. NGC ID: 24FH. Click here for certification details from NGC.
