- 1827 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-119. Rarity-4. Square Base 2. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC. An exciting offering for advanced Bust half dollar enthusiasts, this is a high Condition Census example of the scarce 1825 Overton-119 dies. The strike is typical of the attribution, the reverse sharp throughout but the obverse soft around the periphery due to die deterioration. Sandy-silver patina overall with glints of intermingled olive, both sides are lustrous with a billowy frosty texture. This important coin qualifies as CC#2 for the attribution according to the list in the Autumn 2021 revision to Stephen J. Herrman's AMBPR for Bust half dollars. CC#1 is a PCGS MS-64 example. These are the only two Mint State examples of the variety to appear at auction in the 21st century and, in fact, prior to 2014 an Unc had not sold since 1990. Clearly a rare bidding opportunity, and one that is sure to see spirited competition among series specialists. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection, Part II. PCGS# 6144. NGC ID: 24FN.
