1834 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c) Large Date, Small Letters

Warm antique-gold patina over silver-gray surfaces gives this 1834 half an honest, original look that has clearly never been disturbed. Wear is light and even, with sharp hair detail, and crisp feather detail on the eagle, plus traces of luster lingering around the recesses. The fields are smooth and problem-free for the grade, with nothing to interrupt the pleasing crusty skin. Housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder, this example offers way above-average eye appeal for a 45.
