1836 Capped Bust Half Dime (H10C) Large 5C

p>This AU58 specimen certified by PCGS displays exceptional preservation just shy of full Mint State. The coin exhibits lovely original toning with subtle hints of gold and silver-gray patina throughout. Under magnification, the surfaces reveal minimal friction on the high points and remarkably clean fields for the grade. The strike is bold and well-centered, with crisp star details and sharp denticles around the periphery. The eye appeal is exceptional, with the coin retaining substantial cartwheel luster that flashes brilliantly when rotated in the light.
