Lot Title:
|
Two Capped Bust Reeded Edge Half Dollars.
|
|
Description:
|
This lot consists of the two major varieties within this Half Dollar denomination type. The 1837 represents the final year with the "50 CENTS" variety reverse. It is boldly struck for the grade and has one minor rim cut on the reverse at 6:30. It appears to have been cleaned and retoned with an unnatural bluish green hue and a pinkish aspect noticeable on the Eagle. The 1839 represents the final modification for this type with "HALF DOL." now being used below the Eagle on the reverse. It is ascribed as AU-50 Cleaned. The surfaces of this decently struck example are a light gray, and some light hairlines are noticed, along with some blue and gold variegation.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
