1831 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-104. Rarity-1. MS-65 (PCGS). Handsome pewter gray patina blankets both sides of this richly original Gem. Blushes of iridescent lavender, powder blue and champagne-apricot are also evident as the surfaces dip into a light, further enhancing this coins already strong visual appeal. Softly frosted in texture and pleasingly smooth in hand, a tiny toning spot on the reverse at the first letter U in PLURIBUS serves as a useful provenance marker. Tied for CC#1 for the 1831 O-104 dies in the Spring 2020 revision to the Herrman census, this is a lovely coin with much to recommend it to the high grade type or variety collector. From the Dazzling Rarities Collection. Earlier from Heritages FUN Signature Auction of January 2013, lot 4299.
