1831 Capped Bust Half Dime. NGC graded MS-65. Mostly untoned except around the edges. Satin surfaces that are pleasantly frosted with sleek, glowing silver color. A dullish impression was left by the recoil of the dies that struck most bust half dimes in the 1829-1837 period; however, we're pleased to see and report that this 1831 is a splendid exception to that rule. A very bold Gem BU. Pop 56; 45 finer, 30 in 66, 2 in 66 star, 9 in 67, 3 in 67 star, 1 in 68 star (PCGS # 4278) .
Estimated Value $2,300 - 2,400.
