Lot 1439
1828 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Square base 2, small 8's, large letters. NGC graded MS-65. Lovely shades of blue toning. Well struck. Nice and original. A more than moderately fresh and lively gem with strong luster underpinning the attractive surface color. Furthermore, it possesses a sure, no-compromises strike. Only the tiny clasp on the shoulder is at all weak. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is strongly impressed by the die. Everything a collector would want from the grade, and probably then some. 1828 was a year in transition at the Mint. Several different date punches were used (the Guide Book of United States Coins lists five major varieties). Pop 20; 7 finer in 66. (PCGS # 6151) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 7,500.
