1828 Sm. Letters Reverse - O.119 R.3 PCGS AU 55 CAC
Yes! Another one – also off the market for decades. This high-grade Small Letters Reverse last traded hands February 26, 1977. It comes to us from the Beaver Falls Collection. (Look for more half-dollars from the collection in my FUN bourse case. Half-dimes and dimes too!) The coin is superbly toned in iridescent shades of gold, with occasional splashes of aqua and turquoise. Strong luster and a decent, balanced strike contributed to the award of a CAC sticker. Choice, eye-appealing examples of this Red Book variety routinely put price guides to shame. You’ve been warned. Estimate: $2,000 and up
