1826 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c)

Beautifully original with rich album toning that rings the rims in teal, gold, and lilac, fading to soft dove, olive, and rose in the centers. The XF45 look is spot on - balanced wear with smooth, settled surfaces and pleasing, surviving luster tracing the devices. Both sides are sharply detailed for the grade, the eye appeal is legitimately strong, and the coin sits in a modern PCGS holder. This specimen has the look we all hunt for.
