Lot Description

1834 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-111. Rarity-1. Small Date, Small Letters. MS-64 (NGC). An intensely lustrous, satin to softly frosted example of the so-called "Child's Head" variety of the 1834 half dollar issue. Brilliant overall, a few blushes of pale champagne-gold iridescence on the reverse are easily overlooked at most viewing angles. Sharply defined from a well centered strike, this flashy near-Gem would do equally well in a high grade type or variety set. PCGS# 6166. NGC ID: 24FY. Click here for certification details from NGC.
