1813 -  O.109 R.3 NGC AU 58 CAC

Ex Robinson S. Brown, Jr.  It was 1994 when Robbie Brown chose to encapsulate and part with his nearly complete die variety set of bust half-dollars.  NGC included his name on the label.  This 1813 was among the herd of tantalizing, high grade coins that Brown consigned to me.  Lustrous and richly toned in iridescent shades of gold and cobalt.  Weakness at the rims is standard for this issue.  The surfaces are first rate.  After 30+ years the coin returns to the market.  (Senior collectors label older NGC holders as “fatties” or “no line.”)  

Estimate:  $2,500 to $3,000
