Lot 1630
1805 Draped Bust Half Dollar. 5 over 4. AU-55. Beautiful silver-gray, lilac, and steel-blue toning over lustrous surfaces. Small amounts of dirt surround some of the stars and outer legends, begging the question "Should this coin be conserved?" It's really a lovely piece as it sits, but one wonders if there might be some underlying luster ready to be revealed. We'll leave it to the next owner to answer that question.
Estimated Value $3,100 - 3,300.
