1814 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-108a. Rarity-1. E/A in STATES. EF-45 (PCGS).A visually astounding example of this coveted Red Book variety. Extensive die cracks (as made), clashmarks (also as struck) and evidence of die deterioration at the borders confirm a very late die state, but the central devices remain overall bold in the absence of all but light wear. Essentially untoned and dove-grey in color, with faint hints of golden iridescence in areas. The ideal specimen for an advanced collector of the Capped Bust series.
