Ex Robinson S. Brown, Jr. and Donald L. Parsley. A well struck, nicely toned 1810 half-dollar. An iridescent ring of copper and turquoise circles the obverse; the reverse is lighter, dominated by pale russet. Spritely luster surrounds the central devices. Dick’s notes indicate that the coin was part of Robbie Brown’s noted collection (as NGC AU 55); Don Parsley acquired it when I sold Brown’s nearly complete die variety set circa 1994. The Scorzafava Collection is dotted with eye-appealing, attractively toned coins. No exception here. Estimate: $1,600 to $2,100.
