Lot Description

1832 Capped Bust Half Dime. LM-6. Proof-64 (NGC). Lightly frosted motifs and reflective fields exhibit uniform gunmetal blue toning with lilac high points and&nbsp;with hints of mint brilliance&nbsp;among the peripheral devices. A rare prize from an unknown but undoubtedly low production run, perhaps on the order of a dozen or slightly more pieces all told. Fewer than&nbsp;10 Proofs of the date are estimated to exist today. The present&nbsp;coin is <em>the only Proof 1832 half dime certified by any major third-party grading company in any grade! </em>An opportunity as rare as the coin itself is about to unfold -- we wish you great success when the bidding begins.<br /> <br /> <strong>Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers</strong><br /> High grade, great eye appeal and absolute rarity come together in this coin to make it a must-have specimen for a connoisseur. Contemplate it carefully, including studying our photographs, and then bid accordingly. If you are the winner you will own a truly great classic.
