FROM THE PIEDMONT NUMISMATICS COLLECTION Kaboom! This coin just explodes at you with powerful everything. This is one of the nicest, most beautifully preserved GEM 1830 half dime we have had the pleasure of offering! This vibrantly lustrous surfaces have a thick frost and bold swirling cartwheel bloom. Sharply struck up the devices show razor bold definition, wonderfully crisp from a precision blow from the dies. A blush of the most subtle pale gold that attests the SUPERB originality of this stunning Capped Bust half dime; the eye appeal is, simply put, amazing. PCGS 28, NGC 28, CAC 13. There are four graded MS66+ and just seven are graded higher. None of the MS66+s have ever sold in auction. Recent comps include a PCGS MS66 CAC that sold for $5,520 and a PCGS MS67 (no CAC) sold for $12,338 in our October 2017 Regency Auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $8,000. This coin will see a very strong bidding war when it crosses the bloc. Cert. Number 7254131 PCGS # 4277.00
