1822 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c)

Lovely, original surfaces under a pleasing steel-gray patina with golden-russet highlights and a whisper of blue at the rims give this XF45 strong eye appeal. Wear is even and balanced, with traces of luster clinging in the protected recesses and that classic circulated-cameo look we all hunt for. The fields are smooth for the grade, free of distraction, with only light, honest friction keeping it out of AU. Housed in an NGC holder and approved by CAC, this example has that wholesome, untouched skin that’s getting tough to find.
