1814 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-103. Rarity-1. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. This warmly patinated example has blended olive and steel-gray peripheral highlights on otherwise antique golden-gray surfaces. Advanced die state with the borders exhibiting minimal denticulation and the peripheral features extended. Both sides also exhibit pronounced clash marks in the fields. The central design elements, however, are boldly to sharply defined, well deserving of the desirable Choice AU grade from PCGS. This is the variety of the date with a raised "bar" connecting the eagles dexter wing with the scroll above. A pleasing example that deserves careful consideration.
