Lot 919
1817 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Normal. PCGS graded MS-64. One of the highlights from the Benson collection, this stunning blue and gray toned boasts excellent surfaces and abundant eye appeal. Fully struck on the stars and eagle, with minor weakness noted on just a few of the obverse curls. Examination will note very few signs of contact, and the fields and face of Liberty are exceptional, even for this grade. Certainly one of the finest of this variety, as well as for the entire date. PCGS has graded 5 this high, with just 3 graded higher.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
From the Benson collection and purchased from Ira S. Reed in 1944 for $1.50.
