1817 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c)

Fresh, original skin with pleasing antique silver color washed in warm champagne with patinated peripheries. Luster rolls nicely for the grade, giving that classic AU circ-cameo look without any distractions beyond the lightest high-point friction. Surfaces are smooth and balanced on both sides, with sharp definition and no notable marks to call out. The look is all there, a high-end example in a PCGS gold shield holder with a well deserved green CAC sticker and excellent eye appeal.
