1829 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c)

Warm, original khaki-gray surfaces framed by soft golden-russet toning at the peripheries give this 1829 half a wonderfully wholesome look. Detail is bold throughout, with crisp hair curls, and sharp feather definition on the eagle, while traces of luster linger around the stars and legends. Only natural friction on the high points accounts for the grade, and the fields are pleasingly free of anything distracting. Honest, attractive, and completely natural in appearance, this example delivers strong eye appeal in its PCGS holder.
