Ex Dr. Tom Sears, past ruler of PCGS’ Everyman Registry Set for Capped Bust Half-Dollars, 1807-1839. Dazzling luster.  A delicate ring of copper toning frames the brilliant centers.  Decently impressed with a full motto, often a problem on dates in the 1830s.  Do you see that little die chip inside the upper knob of the 3?  Be on the lookout for it.  It is the key to the obverse of the O.113 andthe rare 1830 Large Letters, O.114.  Here is a wonderful coin for date collectors and Registry Set participants.  From MB 51, lot 79 @$2,696.   Estimate: $1,700 and up
