Lot Description

Inviting honey-rose color with tinges of original frosty mint luster remaining in the more protected areas. The detail is suitably bold for the assigned grade, and the in hand appearance is generally smooth apart from some wispy hairlines that we mention for accuracy. This single die marriage issue of the challenging Capped Bust Left half eagle series is one of the more obtainable for advanced gold type purposes; the present example will fit nicely into a circulated set. BD Die State b/b.
