1831 Capped Bust Half Dime. LM-5. Rarity-1. MS-66 (PCGS).

A delightful example of the brief and historic Capped Bust half dime type. Frosty surfaces are fully lustrous with modest semi-reflective tendencies evident in the fields as the coin dips into a light. Dressed in vivid toning of antique gold and steel-olive iridescence, bold to sharp striking detail further enhances the desirability of this upper end Gem for high grade type purposes. While LM-5 is a readily obtainable die pairing of the 1831-dated issue in an absolute sense, this is the first example grading finer than MS-64 that we have offered since 2011. Clearly an underrated condition rarity that represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the astute collector.

PCGS# 4278. NGC ID: 232D.

Estimate: $ 4750
