Capped Bust Half Dime
1831 Capped Bust Half Dime. LM-7. Rarity-2. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC.
A frosty and highly lustrous beauty with a superb strike and matching eye appeal. Exceptionally mark-free surfaces measure up admirably to the assigned grade. Simply beautiful. On this later die state, a shallow crack is seen to Liberty's cap, and the frequently seen die chip is present in the upper loop of the 3, a similar die chip defines the lower portion of the F in OF, both caused when small fragments of the original die chipped away during coinage. Die roughness is found before Liberty's face and neck, and above the dexter wing of the eagle (viewer's left). Light die rust can be seen at RI in PLURIBUS.
PCGS# 4278. NGC ID: 232D.
Estimate: $5000
