- 1836/1336 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Lettered Edge. O-108. Rarity-1. MS-64 (PCGS). Intense satin luster shines forth powerfully through an overlay of beautiful iridescent toning. Shades of pretty cobalt blue, lilac-rose, olive-gray and champagne-apricot are present on one or both sides. Sharply, if not fully struck throughout with remnants of the underdigit clearly discernible with the aid of a loupe. Arguably the second or third finest for the 1836 O-108 dies behind a raw coin reported as "65" in the original Overton Census from the mid-1980s and an NGC MS-64+ sold from the Newman holdings in November 2013. Regardless of its exact place in the Census, this lovely coin deserves considerable attention as one of the finer examples from these dies, with the important blundered date and listing in all the major references as a significant variety for collectors to pursue. Provenance: From Heritage's CSNS Signature Auction of April 2015, lot 4458. PCGS# 39956. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
