Ex Col. Green- Eric Newman. A true prize for any Capped Bust half dollar specialist or type coin collector. A remarkable survivor of the first year of the date in exceptional GEM quality. This is the second FINEST KNOWN O-114 (just behind the Pogue MS66), and a SUPERB looking GEM with a wonderful provenance that goes back nearly a century. O-114 is easily recognized by the small die lumps below the 7 and overlapping lower arrowheads on the reverse. While Overton does not list a later die state "A" model, this coin is certainly a very late die state with spidery cracks and die clashes on both sides. A stunning GEM O-114. Both sides are set ablaze with a vibrant, mint luster that radiates strongly throughout the brilliant silver centers surrounded by rings of vivid golden, teal, and lavender toning. The remarkably well-preserved surfaces show few, if any, signs of handling even using a powerful glass. Razor sharp in strike, every detail is crisply impressed from a powerful blow from the screw press. Overall, eye appeal is SUPERB! This coin really is a major highlight of the present offering, and a truly remarkable GEM Capped Bust half dollar. PCGS 1, NGC 1, CAC 2. We believe the population figures all represent just this single coin. This coin realized $152,750 in the November 2013 auction of the Eric P. Newman Collection. Eric purchased this coin from the Col. Green estate for $10 back in the 1940s. There is an auction record for a PCGS-graded MS65 from 2010 (that coin is now the MS66 that sold in the D. Brent Pogue auction in September 2015 for $258,500. This GEM will fit nicely in ANY high end type set or spectacular set of early half dollars. Truly worthy of a RECORD bid! We wish the winning bidder a hearty congratulations in advance. Cert. Number 25316309 PCGS # 6088
