Description
1834 Capped Bust Half Dime. LM-4. Rarity-1. MS-66 (PCGS).
This is definitely an early business strike from these dies, and not only because the obverse is missing the bisecting crack that develops in later states. Both sides are somewhat prooflike in finish with mirrors in the fields that are easily seen through the toning. Awash in a blend of antique-copper, olive-gray, blue-gray and silver-rose iridescence, the surfaces also exhibit a razor sharp strike to all areas. A very pretty coin with nary a distracting abrasion or other blemish in evidence.
PCGS# 4281. NGC ID: 232G.
PCGS Population: 26; 16 finer (MS-68 finest).
Ex New Netherlands' 15th Sale, December 1943, lot 999; John Jay Pittman; David W. Akers' sale of the John Jay Pittman Collection, Part I, October 1997, lot 444.
