1826 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-105. Rarity-3. MS-65 (PCGS).

1826 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-105. Rarity-3. MS-65 (PCGS). Die State 105.1. A well centered impression with strong overall design definition, although a few of the stars are flat. Reflective pearl and dove gray surfaces are further enhanced by vivid reddish-gold, cobalt blue and orange-apricot peripheral highlights. This is a delightful example of both the type and die marriage with expertly preserved surfaces and eye appeal to spare. Among the finest known for the 1826 O-105 dies, in fact, and included in the Condition Census listing provided by Stephen J.
