Lot 912
1813 Capped Bust Half Dollar. . O-107. PCGS graded MS-64. Stunning original steel gray and blue toning on this lustrous mint state example. Nearly perfect surfaces too, which is remarkable for a coin of the early period of the bust half dollars. Surprisingly well struck by shattered dies, both the obverse and reverse show several meandering die cracks on both sides. This one even has dentils clashed in Liberty's cap and field above to the right, and the dies must not have been well aligned to cause this. PCGS has graded just 8 this high, with a single coin graded higher of the date, making this one of the very best to survive.
Estimated Value $3,200 - 3,700.
