1827 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c) Curl Base 2

Original and wonderfully wholesome, this example shows classic dove-gray skin with warm champagne highlights and just a whisper of rub on the high points - precisely the look you want at the cusp of Mint State. Luster peeks through the fields and around the devices, giving the coin a lively, lightly circulated cameo vibe. Surfaces are undisturbed for the grade with only scattered, unobtrusive ticks and no bothersome distractions, and the rims and dentils are clean and even. Housed in a fresh NGC holder with a well-deserved green CAC sticker, the eye appeal punches above the label and then some.
