1808 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c)

Wonderfully original with a soft champagne-silver skin that deepens to pale olive at the rims, this example shows lively cartwheel luster for the grade - especially bold on the reverse - and just the lightest rub across the high points. The surfaces are honest and unmessed-with, offering that classic AU “slider” look we all hunt for, with only a few scattered contact marks in the fields keeping it out of a mint state holder. A handsome, high-end AU in an NGC holder with excellent eye appeal.
