详细说明

1839-O Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. HALF DOL. GR-4. Rarity-4. Repunched Mintmark. AU-58 (NGC). Medallic die alignment. Pretty undertones of iridescent antique gold, reddish-apricot, powder blue and pinkish-rose backlight dominant olive and dove gray patina. Sharply defined and lustrous, as befits the assigned grade, with a couple of minor obverse digs at stars 2 and 3 interrupting an otherwise smooth appearance in hand. GR-4 is one of the scarcer die marriages of this perennially popular New Orleans Mint issue, examples offered far less frequently than those of GR-1. Both are Repunched Mintmark varieties, GR-4 with the O repunched south and to the right. The medallic die alignment confirms this coin as an earlier die state, Dick Graham (2012) stating that later die state examples are struck in coin alignment. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier ex our (Stack's) sale of the Estate of Corrado Romano, June 1987, lot 630. PCGS# 6181. NGC ID: 24G7. Click here for certification details from NGC.
