Lot Description

While only considered to be R-1, finding high grade examples of this popular overdate is quite a challenge! The presently offered AU58 has a lovely pastel, iridescent toning of pale blue, lilac, teal, gold, and rose hues that delicately dust both obverse and reverse. A robust strike and satiny lustrous surfaces give this early Bust half a great look. PCGS 17, NGC 10. This was the most recent example to sell, realizing a strong $5,040 in March 2018's sale of the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. The current CU value is listed at $4,500. Only 2 coins are graded finer at NGC, and at both services it is very rare in Mint State. A great coin for any Bust half aficionado! Cert. Number 3262201-011 PCGS # 6126
