Lot 957
1809 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Experimental edge, "IIIII" between words. AU-50. This is the scarcer late die state of this variety that shows lumps along the crack through AMERICA and the top two arrowheads. Examination notes that the surfaces have been cleaned or lightly polished long ago, and gold toning has returned to the periphery. There is a series of faint scratches on the central obverse but these should continue to tone over if given a chance. A decent coin for the grade.
Estimated Value $350 - 450.
