Lot 533
Capped Bust Half Dollar. 1831, O-109, R-1. PCGS graded MS-65. Lovely bluish rose toning on both sides of this delightful gem, likely from an old coin cabinet or Wayte Raymond holder. Delicate luster beneath the hues, which comes alive when examined under a light. We note a few minor planchet lines from the rolling process, which can be seen along an approximately vertical axis. Sharp for the date, with minimal weakness on the scroll and stars. Scarce this nice, the recent PCGS Population Report shows 35 graded MS-65 of the date and just 4 higher, all MS-66 above. A delight for the type collector who demands gem grades for their collection (PCGS # 6159) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
