Lot Description

1828 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-119. Rarity-3. Square Base 2, Small 8s, Small Letters. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. This highly attractive example is toned in warm, blended, pearl gray and sandy-gold patina. The surfaces are overall smooth in hand with pretty undertones of lilac-blue and antique gold evident as the coin dips into a light. Although not a rare variety in an absolute sense, Overton-119 is among the more popular die pairings of the 1828 half dollar. The letters STA in STATES are repunched, and the top of the first and final letter As in AMERICA are filled. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 39780. NGC ID: 24FR.
