Lot #24 1812. O-105a. Rarity-2.

Description:

1812. O-105a. Rarity-2. PCGS graded MS-65+. CAC. Premium Quality confirmed! An amazing coin for its quality and eye appeal, as so few early Capped Bust half dollars are known in gem or finer grades, and this one is stunning in quality. Glorious russet and gold toning overlays the vibrant luster of the obverse and reverse. The surfaces are satin smooth and free of all the but the minutest handling marks, which is absolutely extraordinary for a coin from this era. It was clearly set aside early on after it was struck and somehow preserved with great care and attention for generations to survive like this today. Boldly struck including full definition within the stars. Intensely lustrous overlaid with natural shades of light blue and gold toning. Pop 5; 10 in 66; 3 in 66+; 1 in 67 (PCGS # 6100) Estimated Value $9,000 - UP
