A bow of gratitude to the stewards of this half-dollar over the past 217 years. The surfaces are extraordinary for a lightly circulated half-dollar, virtually pristine. A protective blanket of antique toning remains undisturbed. Luster proudly frames the stars and legend. A battle royale ensued when Heritage offered this prize in its October 2020 auction (lot 18165 from the Maurice Storck Collection). When the dust settled Steve Nomura prevailed at $3,960, stark confirmation of the demand for quality in early half-dollars. Estimate: $3,000 to $4,000
