Lot 2039
1837 Capped Bust Half Dime. Small 5¢. PCGS graded MS-64. In high demand as the only variety with the small 5¢ on the reverse for the year, locating a mint state example can be quite a challenge for most collectors. Here is a frosty white example that boasts satiny luster and a very sharp strike. The reverse die has a crack down towards the motto through the first T of STATES, and the tops of both Ss are filled, as well as the top of the 5. A rare coin in this grade, PCGS notes in their Population Report that only 5 have been graded this high with the small 5¢ and importantly, none are graded higher! Rarely encountered this nice.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
