Lot Description

1828 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-103. Rarity-2. Curl Base No Knob 2. MS-64 (PCGS). An impressively struck example from a relatively early state of the dies. The boldly lustrous surfaces have a slight prooflike reflectivity in the fields, the mirrors illuminating the russet toning into a blue-green and golden-orange iridescence. There are no mentionable signs of handling or other flaws of any import. A lovely Choice Mint State Bust half dollar offering a pleasing blend of brilliance and antique patina. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. PCGS# 6148. NGC ID: 24FR. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
