Capped Bust Half Dollar

1836 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Lettered Edge. O-104a. Rarity-3. MS-64 (NGC).

A golden-orange obverse is accented with ice blue peripheries while the reverse is blanketed in light cobalt with rose accents. The luster is pleasing when viewed head on but at more direct angles it is quite bold. Sharply struck and handsome overall. A high grade example from this later die state and a coin which offers Condition Census quality for the variety specialist or type collector. This is an important offering for any numismatist who desires quality and visual appeal, as Capped Bust half dollars of all dates are scarce at this grade level.

PCGS# 39942. NGC ID: 24G2.

From the Richard Jewell Collection. Earlier ex the Highland Collection; our March 2015 Portland ANA sale, lot 243.

Estimate: $ 2000
