1824 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c)

Warm, original patina - soft silver-gray blending into olive-gold at the peripheries, the kind of undisturbed skin that comes from decades of careful storage. Light, even friction on the high points, leaving nice hair detail, and crisply defined eagle feathers and shield lines. The surfaces are smooth and problem-free with nothing to interrupt the natural crust, and traces of luster linger around the devices and legends. Housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder, this 1824 half delivers honest, wholesome eye appeal.
