Lot 969
1814 Capped Bust Half Dollar. E over A in "STATES". AU-55. A lustrous beauty that has gunmetal blue in areas but is mostly steel gray. Well struck from cracked and clashed dies, the only weakness is on the eagle's neck and left wing, which is diagnostic for this variety. The featured E over A in STATES is quite clear, as always, and long listing in the Guide Book has keep demand high for this variety. Minor breaks in the toning on the face and chest of Liberty, in the areas where the wear naturally occurs. An impressive example of this sought-after coin.
Estimated Value $650 - 750.
