Lot 963
1828 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Curl base, no knob 2. AU-58. Tied for sixth place in the revised Condition Census for the variety in the Don Parsley update of the Overton reference. Toned a dark gray with chocolate overtones, with luster in the fields. The curl base 2 has the knob, and the sixth stripe of the shield has the first two lines extended to the second horizontal stripe. Excellent rims and surfaces that don't appear to have suffered massive indignities by the judicious cleaning crew which seems to have located and hairlined virtually every surviving bust half dollar, much to the torment of luster loving collectors.
