Lot Description

Exceptionally smooth surfaces radiate luster.  The iridescent copper toning is infused with silver-grey, providing a smorgasbord of color.  As with many early half-dollars, the left wing displays weakness – a shortcoming we are happy to forgive on an otherwise attractive 1810.  Tim plucked this one from my bourse case during the Aug. 1996 ANA Convention in Denver.   Estimate: $1,500 to $2,000
