详细说明

1812/1 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-101. Rarity-5. Large 8. VF-35 (PCGS). A find for the Bust Half Dollar variety collector, this is a&nbsp;pleasingly original mid-grade example of the elusive 1812/1 Large 8 <em>Guide Book </em>variety. An early state of the die marriage without the obverse cracks, bold sides&nbsp;remain boldly defined in the presence of light-to-moderate wear. Sandy-gray patina deepens a bit at the borders. The reverse is quite smooth, but we are compelled to mention a concentration of wispy abrasions over and around the obverse portrait. That side of the coin also reveals strike doubling to Liberty's profile and stars 1-7.
