Lot 356
1835 Capped Bust Half Dime. Large date and 5c. MS-60+. Toned with deep and questionable gray colors on both sides, although the luster seems undisturbed. Perhaps this one was exposed to a few too many Philadelphia summers in the past. Nicely struck, with sharp stars and curls on Liberty. A scarce die marriage, and probably could be improved.
Estimated Value $200 - 225.
From the Benson collection and purchased from J. G. Macallister for $1.50 around 1944.
