Lot 1214
1830. Large 0 Capped Bust Half O-122 Rarity 1. NGC graded MS-65. Lovely even toning on both sides. It goes without saying that we are pleased to describe a gem of the finest order whose delightful satin luster adorns the delicate light gold to antique light silvery gray surfaces. Piercingly sharp for the date on the hair curls and clasp along with the drapery folds, easily finer in sharpness than many in nominally higher grades, although as on most 1830-dated pieces, some of the stars lack definition. And to put it mildly, the eagle is incredibly detailed, including all lines in the shield, the "chief" and stripes on full display. Eagle’s claws, also, among the best seen. All this further accents the incredible high MS65 Gem grade. Pop 1; none finer. The finest graded at NGC for the variety .
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,500.
