1812 - O.105a R.1 PCGS MS 63 CAC
My favorite coin from the Herb Turner Collection. Yes, a common die pair from a reasonably common early date. But what a coin! The strike is first rate. The rose, turquoise and ocean blue toning is spectacular. You will be hard pressed to find a bust half – of any date – with greater eye appeal. We may discard standard price guides when a coin of this quality makes an appearance. A private acquisition from Witter Coin in San Francisco.
Estimate: $3,500 and up
