1825 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-102. Rarity-2. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. A wonderfully original example with pretty champagne-pink and pale gold highlights on silver-gray patina. Well struck for the type and lustrous for the grade, the overall appearance nearly qualifies for a Choice Mint State rating. This is a plentiful die marriage of the issue, and a number of Uncirculated coins are extant, but taken as a whole 1820s issues in this series are more challenging to collect at this level than their counterparts from the 1830s. From the Abigail Collection, Part II.
