Lot 652
1834 Small Date, Small Letters. O-109, Rarity 1. NGC graded MS-67. Lovely toning on both sides of classic russet gold with ample luster. Boldly struck on Liberty's curls and the stars, the reverse too is sharp in every regard. Outstanding fields and devices, with no distracting handling marks to be found, even with a strong loupe. A coin of amazing quality and appeal and precious few Capped Bust half dollars earn the Superb MS-67 grade! The presentation here is most elegant, with the delicate small sized date punch used in combination with the smaller letters for the legend on the reverse. The Motto on the scroll is sharp and full, which is a feature seldom seen on Capped Bust half dollars from this era, which normal show a shallow or weak area on the scroll opposite of Liberty's bust. Not so here, all is sharp and bold. A prize for the astute collector who needs a superb gem example. Pop 5; tied for the finest examples graded at both services. Estimated Value $19,000 - 20,000
