Lot 1710
1809 Capped Bust Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-64 O-106. A frosty white example. The surfaces are untoned, rocking with silvery color, and quite lustrous. Razor-sharp on all devices, as well, including all stars, hair curls, the cap, the clasp, etc. Perhaps if one wants to argue the point, there is some slight weakness in the eagle's wing where it joins with the shield, but this is too minor to bother about. The coin is, quite simply, a refreshing change from the normal Mint State 1809 one sees. Pop 1; 1 in 66 for the variety.
Estimated Value $4,800 - 5,200.
