Lot Number 8

Soft luster throughout.  Silver centers, darker at the rims, suggesting album storage.  Retired from circulation early in life.  The surfaces are virtually free of marks.  Do not be lulled by the number of XF and AU 1805 halves in the Nomura collection.  The date is far, far tougher to locate in high grade than those of 1806 and 1807.  PCGS puts the value of a common variety 1805 in AU 50 at $5,500, only $3,250 for those dated 1806 and 1807.   Estimate:  $4,000 to $4,500
