1832 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-103. Rarity-1. Small Letters. MS-65 (PCGS).Exceptionally well preserved for this otherwise readily obtainable die marriage, this handsome Gem is eagerly awaiting inclusion in an advanced type or variety set. Rich steel-gray patina blankets both sides, the reverse in particular with warmer charcoal-olive outlines to many of the design elements. Direct lighting calls forth more vivid undertones of champagne-apricot and powder blue, and it also allows the best appreciation of smooth, softly frosted mint luster.
