ex. Revick Very original Colorado gold. This coin has the desired dirty look which tells you it has a great history, I can not imagine what this coin has seen in its life.
“Into the Mulitverse” ex. Bob R. Simpson Collection This coin is truly a gem. Being a very rare copper proof with this beautiful red and blue toning that shines through the coin and is visible without bright light. Legend Auction says: An incredible and technicolored GEM example of this transitional pattern half dollar. Pairing the regular 1863 Proof obverse with a with Motto reverse, as adopted in 1866, this coin is struck in copper with a reeded edge. A low Rarity-7, there are 7-12 examples known in all grades, of which this is one of the very FINEST. Ultra reflective, incredibly well preserved mirrors are glassy and flashy. The fields are essentially without flaw. The intensity of the flashy mirrors bring out the swirling blend of cherry-red with violet and azure accents, giving this GEM an exquisite look. WOW.
Gold CAC ex. David Sunshine, paradime- Toned. Bust Half. GOLD CAC. Rattler. Better Date. There is a little left you can ask from a Bust Half Dollar. If you needed or wanted only one Bust Half Dollar, this is the coin you would like to buy. We believe PCGS back in the day likely thought the toning on the high point as wear. This present example looks better than most MS62 in todays holder. Regardless of the grade, the coin is under-graded and a monster. With attractive cobalt blue throughout the devices splendidly mixed with splashes of sun-yellow, the coin is a beauty to behold. - Note: When this example was slabbed there was no distinction between Large 8 & Small 8. The correct PCGS # now is 6097 not 6096.

This coin, and the next lot are two highlights of the present auction. While “only” AU55, these are two of the most stunning bust halves colorwise we have had the honor of offering. Brilliant, frosty silver centers yield to rich, concentric rings of rainbow color, evidence of decades of storage in a Wayte Raymond or other old cardboard album. It is clear that these two lots were a part of the same old time collection. O-105, R-1. PCGS 144, NGC 32, CAC 21. Throw away the price guides and don’t bother looking at the APRs. This coin is so wonderfully toned that if it was a Morgan dollar, it would garner a 9+ on our 10-point color scale. If the Northern Lights Collector was putting together an AU set of Bust halves, this would be his 1834! How many old time colored halves like this still exist? Good luck finding another! We expect to see world record bids when this one closes.
The twin of the previous lot. Soft silver centers yield to rich rainbow toning at the periphery. You can tell that these two marvelously toned GEM AUs were stored together for decades in the same old album. The colors are spectacular and these two coins need to be seen in hand to be truly appreciated. O-107. R-1. PCGS 195, NGC 132, CAC 40. Again, toss away the price guides and don’t even bother with APRs. The toning on this one is ever so slightly less vibrant than the previous lot, but nonetheless, we rate the colors as an 9+ on our 10-point scale. Truly a beauty and a coin that really will bring a record price for an AU55 1835 half. The opportunity this pair presents for the collector is one that should not be missed! As stunning as any of the coins in the Northern Lights Collection, and no doubt will realize a world record price! Good luck!
Paradime says: Wildly toned Reeded Edge Capped Bust Half Dollar, 1837 50c is one of the only readily available dates for the 50 Cents Reverse and type without doubling or tripping the budget. With a stunning design, this coin shows eye popping peripheral hues. With deeper red centers that transitions to purple, ocean-blue, sky-blue, yellow and others, this is a great coin to have in a collection. Seldom do we find this date and type with collectors in circulated condition, save for a comparable AU55 PCGS CAC that sold for $1,920 04/22 ST. The present example colors and toning far exceeds the that of the CAC, though the originality of that example is superior. In hand this coin is absolutely pops. Wildly toned Capped Bust half have gained tremendous popularity and this will draw huge numbers of interest.
