Lot Description

Warmly and originally toned in gently mottled olive-russet, both sides are fully lustrous with a sharply executed strike. The Tall Date is the scarcer <em>Guide Book</em> variety of the 1846 half dollar issue, and even high grade circulated survivors in EF and AU can be difficult to obtain in today's market. The present offering is for a rare Choice Mint State coin, one that would serve as a highlight in another advanced collection.
