Lot 1470
1834 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Small date and letters. NGC graded MS-65. Lovely warm sunset toning on both sides. Unstoppable luster erupts flamboyantly beneath the golden and steel gray highlights, while gusts of faint toning form an aura at the edges of the design elements of this satiny gem. The strike is strong for a bust half dollar, including all curls and the cap fold, all drapery lines as well as the drapery clasp. There is a marvelous shield to go with the eagle's crisp neck and wing feathers, while the typical strike softness found on the motto above the eagle is undeniably crisp on this 1834. All in all a top-end piece for the grade. Pop 5; none finer at NGC.
Estimated Value $5,800 - 6,200.
