Ex Louis Eliasberg. Lot 1866 in Bowers & Merena’s April 1997 offering of the Eliasberg half-dollars, bringing $7,700. Mint frost encases portions of the central devices. The fields are distinctly prooflike, the reverse with more intense mirrors. Silver-grey toning is a hallmark of the Eliasberg coins. A colorful ring of peripheral toning is a bonus on this important coin. B&M graded it MS 64. NGC agreed when it viewed and graded the coin after the sale. Dick picked it up in a 2016 Legend auction, still in an NGC capsule then crossed it to PCGS. The NGC label accompanies the lot. Estimate: $2,500 to $3,500.
