1835 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-110. Rarity-3. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC.As the single finest 1835 half dollar of this die pairing known to numismatic scholars, the significance of this offering for advanced Capped Bust enthusiasts can hardly be overstated. This is a beautiful coin with the quality and eye appeal that your cataloger (JLA) has come to expect from the Millholland Collection. Fully lustrous with a softly frosted finish, the surfaces are lightly toned in antique silver with mottled overtones of olive-blue iridescence. Striking detail is impressively sharp for a late date half dollar of this type, and the level of preservation is extraordinary. While listed therein as a "common" variety, the Autumn 2022 revision to Stephen J. Herrmans <em>Auction & Mail Bid Prices Realized for Bust Half Dollars: 1794-1839</em> provides a Condition Census for the 1835 O-110 dies comprised solely of coins grading MS-64 and MS-63. This newcomer to the modern numismatic market captured the CC#1 ranking prior to inclusion in this sale, and it will surely find its way into a world class Bust half dollar cabinet.PCGS# 6168.
