Lot 226
1835 Capped Bust Half Dime. Small date, large 5c. PCGS graded MS-66. Struck from heavily clashed dies. Delightful pale silver color with some sparkling splashes of bright gold iridescent toning. Close to fully struck: all the stars show complete radiate definition, and the eagle's claws and feathers, the arrows and leaves are all crisp; only the gown's folds on Liberty's shoulder is not quite 100%. The strike alone makes this specimen stand out among its brothers, because weak strikes are the norm within this short and diminutive series. A little charmer!
