1828 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-104. Rarity-3. Curl Base, No Knob 2. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.Lovely rainbow-colored iridescence encircles the peripheries of this wonderfully original near-Gem half dollar. The strike is razor sharp in and around the centers, and the peripheries are bold, with complete denticulation around both sides. Lively satin luster and an overall smooth appearance add to this coins appeal.
