Lot Description

1828 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-113. Rarity-3. Square Base 2, Small 8s, Large Letters. MS-64 (NGC). Soft and lustrous lilac-gray centers yield to a bold display of pale champagne and electric blue in the fields and at the rims, especially in a bright light source. The strike is strong for the type, especially in the reverse devices, and contact marks of any nature are all but absent from the equation. An attractive specimen that should be seen to be appreciated. PCGS# 39767. Provenance: From Superior's session of Auction '87, July-August 1987, lot 1580. Lot tag included.
