Lot 2257
1815 Capped Bust Half Dollar. 5 over 2. AU-50. A rare date in high grade, but this one has been cleaned and retoned with mottled irregular areas around the obverse periphery, while the reverse remains a more pleasing russet gray with blue highlights on the devices. As is normal for this date, both dies show strong and multiple clash marks. Examination will find decent surfaces, although we note some trivial faint marks in the obverse fields. Importantly, the obverse curls are well struck and the devices show virtually no wear from circulation. All in all, a very presentable example of this highly coveted date which boasts a low mintage of 47,150.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
