Lot Description

A connoisseur’s coin.  Iridescent hues of copper, gold and turquoise encase the smooth surfaces.  A heavy reverse die break contributes to the mystique of early half-dollars and hallmarks this die pair.  Tim has enjoyed the coin since he found it at the Dallas Midwinter ANA Show in March 1991.   Estimate: $2,250 to $3,000
