Lot 2037
1832 Capped Bust Half Dime. PCGS graded MS-66 "Eliasberg" Premium Quality. A simply magnificent example of this scarce variety, with a pedigree to match its quality. Silvery gray at the centers, with darker blue and gold iridescent toning around the periphery. Fully struck on the tiny star centers, but a few of the central curls on Liberty's head show slight weakness. Likely one of the finest known of the variety, and high up there for the date too, with PCGS noting 33 this high, and just 5 graded higher. One for the collector who loves superb quality.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
Ex: Bowers and Merena's Eliasberg Sale, May 1996, lot 922 and the Michael Riordan collection.
