1802 50C MS (PCGS#6065)

The Regency Auction 49

详细说明: This is a very CHOICE and HIGH END XF example of this rare, early Draped Bust half dollar date. Only 29,890 examples were struck, utilizing a single pair of dies. In all grades, there about 400 examples thought to survive, per PCGS CoinFacts. Wonderful dove-tan patina shows lots of depth of character with much retained luster throughout and hints of light gold. The devices show a wealth of detail, clearly this coin was fully struck. The eye appeal is spectacular! Normally this date comes lower grade or with problems. This wholesome original coin is a great exception to that rule. From experience, most 1802 half dollars are found either in lower grade or with serious issues. This is a relatively high grade for the issue, of which there are perhaps as many as three Mint State coins; straight graded AU coins number just over three dozen (inclusive of duplication). PCGS 17, NGC 12, CAC 4. We think there is some duplication in the population data in hopes of getting an AU grade. This coin hammered for $9,000 in our February 2017 Premier Session internet only auction and the current CAC CPG value is $10,800. An important opportunity for the advanced Bust half specialist to acquire a GEM XF example! Do not let this coin pass you by! Cert. Number 25399844 PCGS # 6065
