1831 Capped Bust Half (50c) OGH

Classic OGH with a green CAC sticker and exactly the look you want at AU - wholesome, original skin with even antique-silver color warmed by champagne and pale gold at the recesses. Wear is balanced and honest, with soft cartwheel luster still peeking through the stars, legends, and shield. The strike is admirably bold for the issue, and the fields are smooth for the grade - a few scattered contact marks are all that keep it from a bump. Eye appeal is strong, and the coin sits perfectly in its AU50 lane.
