1829 Capped Bust Half Dollar. . O-103, Small Letters. NGC graded MS-65. Well struck with lovely gold and blue toning. Very choice. A satiny gem whose intense underlying luster bolsters the beauty of the toning. All this is perhaps obvious from the photos. What we need to emphasize further is that the strike is downright crisp and detailed for the 1829 period, with sharp metal flows into the deepest recesses of the dies on both sides. Liberty's hair curls are particularly impressive. This is the sort of quality that makes people bid whatever it takes to get. Pop 1; none finer at NGC (PCGS # 6154) .
Estimated Value $6,700 - 7,200.
