Lot 986
1839-O Capped Bust Half Dollar. Sharpness of EF-45 but scratches polished out. Dark gray in color in an attempt to cover up the removal of initials in the left obverse field, just above Liberty's ample cups, and also on the reverse on either side of the eagle's head. Always known as a rare coin, this one was repaired by someone who hadn't yet achieved a talented level of artistry.
