Lot 360
1836 Capped Bust Half Dime. 3 over inverted 3. PCGS graded AU-55. Minor circulation marks, and a tiny pit on Liberty's cheek, but wonderful toning on both sides. Early die state, but a touch weak on the curl over Liberty's ear and on the left wing of the eagle. If you like toned coins, you'll love this piece, otherwise you should collect something else altogether!
Estimated Value $150 - 175.
From the Benson collection and purchased from J.G. Macallister at $1.50, around 1944.
