Lot 931
1819 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Large 9 over 8. EF-40. There is a small but deep scratch below the bust to the right side of the second 1 in the date, and another small dig above the first 1. Nevertheless, this coin has gorgeous color, luster and surfaces otherwise, and the scratch is not that distracting. Further, the reverse die is shattered with the cracks noted in the Overton reference for the die state. A true collector coin despite its minor problem.
Estimated Value $40 - 50.
From the Benson collection and purchased from Celina Coin Co., on July 26, 1944 as "Unc" for $4.00.
