Description du lot

1826 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-104. Rarity-3. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. Dominant pearl gray patina with splashes of more vivid powder blue, pale gold and champagne-pink iridescence as the surfaces dip into a light. Modestly semi-prooflike in finish, the otherwise frosty surfaces are further enhanced by razor sharp striking detail. Overton-104 may be a relatively obtainable die marriage of the 1826 half dollar issue, but the present near-Gem is rare from a condition standpoint and numbers among the finest examples known to Stephen J. Herrman (Auction & Mail Bid Prices Realized for Bust Half Dollars: 1794-1893, Spring 2019 revision). Sure to catch the eye of advanced early half dollar variety collectors, this beautiful and fully original coin will also appeal to high quality type collectors. Provenance: Ex Dale Friend Collection. PCGS# 6143. NGC ID: 24FM. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
