1835 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-108. Rarity-3. MS-66 (PCGS).Vivid multicolored toning adorns both sides of this beautiful and virtually pristine Gem. Steel blue and olive patina dominate the centers, while the borders are ringed by rich shades of gold, crimson and turquoise. Uniformly lustrous and entirely smooth under inspection. This is finest known of the Overton-108 and it sits at the top of the PCGS Population report for the variety. It is superior even to the MS-65+ (PCGS) Pogue specimen that brought $15,275 in our February 2016 sale. Among all 1835 varieties, only the MS-67+ O-109 Eliasberg specimen ranks finer at PCGS.
