Lot 932
1808 Capped Bust Half Dollar. . Overton-104, R-2. NGC graded MS-63. Lovely electric blue around the borders with lilac toning in the centers. A frosty specimen with eruptions of color that will grab your attention, and on both sides the surface is very choice. Nearly fully struck, however just a hint of limitation in the detail at the hair and eagle's feathers near the center. After five minutes of silent and intense study at lot viewing, the collector will likely say to himself "You should consider bidding on this remarkable coin. You really should!" It would be maddening to let this one get away. Pop 12; 23 finer.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
