Lot Description

1826 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-110. Rarity-2. MS-65 (NGC). Intensely lustrous surfaces exhibit a delightful satin to softly frosted finish from the dies. Wisps of iridescent toning are largely confined to the peripheries, the centers close to brilliant, and all areas expectably smooth for the assigned grade. Just shy of Condition Census for this readily obtainable die marriage of the 1826-dated half dollar issue, this impressive Gem is also desirable as a high grade type candidate from the Capped Bust series. Provenance: From the Dazzling Rarities Collection. NGC Census (all die marriages of the issue): 7; 3 finer (all MS-66). PCGS# 6143. NGC ID: 24FM. Click here for certification details from NGC.
