The Regency Auction 47

详细说明: What a wonderful near-GEM O-101. The first overdate of the Capped Bust half dollar series, and always popular as such especially in such a fine state of preservation. A wonderful example, struck from an advanced state of the obverse die with an extensive network of die cracks. The strike is bold throughout with very sharp details, despite the state of the dies. A brilliant underlying luster rolls with gentle, sweeping cartwheels, which enliven the rich gray and gold patina. Sharply struck and very clean quality surfaces. In the old days pre-certification, this coin would have likely been called a "GEM". The eye appeal is especially high end and bold. Ex Heritage, October 2008, lot 848; Eugene Gardner Collection, Part II, Heritage, October 2014, lot 98464; Sheridan Downey's Mail Bid #41, August 2015, lot 11; our consignor. PCGS 13, NGC 5. This marvelous example realized $15,180 in Downey's Mail Bid 41. The current Collectors Universe value is $17,500. Extremely RARE any finer with just three graded higher at PCGS. A truly impressive coin that will delight any collector of Capped Bust halves. Truly a coin that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Cert. Number 13551617 PCGS # 6091.00
