Lot Description

The RAREST variety for 1830, and it is a very tough R-5. It is the only die marriage with the Large Letters reverse, so it is needed for any complete Red Book set. For an XF, this coin is essentially perfect and has a great look. A hint of original luster survives in the devices. Light, even wear on both sides, we note only a couple of minor marks hidden on the reverse. This is a very handsome example of this important rarity. Ex: DeOlden and Olie Carter. The DeOlden Collection was sold in a 2002 Sheridan Downey Mail Bid sale, more recently this coin sold in April 2012. Our consignor purchased it privately in December 2017. PCGS 5, NGC 0. No XF45 has sold in a major auction. An XF40 (PCGS, no CAC) sold for $5,040 in February 2018. EXTREMELY RARE any finer, most known examples are XF40 and lower. Missing from many collections of Capped Bust half dollars, do not let this opportunity slip past you! Cert. Number 34998211 PCGS # 39835
