Lot Description

1818/7 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-102a. Rarity-2. Small 8. MS-61 (PCGS). This is one of the finest examples of this popular overdate variety available to advanced Bust half dollar enthusiasts. It is a richly toned coin with intermingled cobalt blue, rose-apricot and pale gold iridescence to dominant sandy-mauve and olive-gray patina. The strike is well executed for the type and, while a bit subdued to explain the lower Mint State grade from PCGS, the surfaces reveal no marks of note. The readily attributable 1817/7 O-102a die state with a prominent break filling most of the upper loop of the final digit 8 in the date. Condition Census. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection, Part II. PCGS# 6114. NGC ID: 24FA. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
