Lot 2915
1817/3 Capped Bust Half Dollar. NGC graded Overton-101. EF-40. Attractive iridescent toning about the borders, no doubt from long storage in an old coin ablum, which imparts this sort of beautiful color. The surfaces are lustrous, the overdate boldly featured. Centers are weaker than usual in lacking much of the detail in the hair curls, drapery and clasp. As for the eagle, it too is very flatly struck. Yet ample mint luster attests to this coin having spent only a short while in circulation. Later die state with break through 50 and well beyond up to E of AMERICA.
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
