详细说明

A beautiful Premium Quality GEM boasting an exceptional eye appeal. A Rarity-2 variety, this O-110 has silky smooth, virtually pristine surfaces displaying a lovely satin luster that has not been dulled since this coin was struck nearly 200 years ago. The obverse has a touch of semi-reflective, semi-Prooflike flash that contrasts against the devices. The dies imparted full, razor sharp definition to even the most intricate design elements. The toning is exquisite with hints of iridescent olive and orange-apricot over a base of warmer tannish-silver patina. One of the more readily obtainable 1826 half dollar die varieties overall, (and there are even some truly amazing Mint State coins known), this SUPERB coin is within the Condition Census for this die marriage according to the fifth edition of the Overton/Parsley reference. This coin is tied for second finest for the variety behind a small group of MS67s. PCGS 10, NGC 15, CAC 13. This stunning GEM most recently sold in our May 2016 Regency Auction 17, where it realized $24,675. Prior to that, it was sold in July 2015, as part of the Kaselitz Collection (Stack's Bowers, lot 5172); earlier Heritage, May 2000; lot 7383. More recently, PCGS MS66 CAC examples have sold in the $24,000-$25,000 range and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $27,500. For the entire date, there are just three coins graded finer at PCGS, none of which have ever sold via auction - making this one of the FINEST you can hope to obtain. We expect strong bidding from both type and Bust half dollar specialists. Cert. Number 50100655 PCGS # 006143
