Owner's Comments

CAC green sticker. O-101, R1 , Common >1,000 extant. CAC data: 31 total, 7 on grade, 9 higher (1/2021). Comment from David Kahn: CAC approved. Oh my! What a coin! The surfaces are silky smooth, the strike is outstanding, the luster rolls freely and the color is fabulous. Our pics are pretty good, but once you rotate this coin in the light, you will be mesmerized by it! An earlier, over dated Capped Bust half, in the most coveted grade, with all the bells and whistles...and monster eye appeal too? Yes indeed. Comment from Stacks Bowers November 2020 coin auction: This popular variety has long been listed as an overdate per Overton's classification, although the Spring 2020 revision to Stephen J. Herrman's AMBPR for Bust half dollars carries the interesting note, "Variety is NOT an overdate!" Bought from DKRC fixed price list on internet.
