1824 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-117. Rarity-1. MS-66 (PCGS). One of the very finest survivors from these dies and a significant example of the greater 1824 issue. The impressively preserved, blemish-free surfaces are largely dove-grey and accented by iridescent coral-red and sky-blue hues in the protected areas. The focal elements show impressive sharpness and intense satiny luster, complementing the vibrant coloration. Captivating to examine in-hand. This example is now tied for finest known in the Condition Census for this variety, with just one other coin listed at the MS-66 level according to Stephen Herman. It is also a significant example when placed in the context of the overall 1824 issue, with only 4 coins graded finer by PCGS across both the normal date and overdate varieties. A truly superior specimen destined for an advance Registry Set.
