1808 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c)

Rich antique gold and pewter skin with a pleasing, even patina gives this AU55 terrific eye appeal, and the softly glowing luster peeks through on both sides when tilted. The wear is light and balanced, with strong remaining definition in the hair and eagle’s plumage, and the surfaces look wonderfully original under the color. PCGS housed, gold shield holder, and blessed with a well-deserved green CAC sticker - exactly the look we all hunt for in an early half. Any faint friction in the fields is minor and fully in-line with the grade.
