1811 O.113 R5- Small 8 Capped Bust Half Dollar PCGS XF45+ CAC

CAC approved. I find NO SALE of any CAC approved example at public auction. The very pleasing Osborne/Sears PCGS XF40 example sold by Downey in Feb 2021, brought a very strong $2815. This current coin is higher grade, a bit nicer (in my opinion) and is CAC approved...all for a few hundred less. The slightly darker areas on this coin's obverse are the only potential issue, but you'll see with the coin in hand...first, they aren't as stark as our pics portray them, second, they are perfectly natural and - thank the lord - they haven't been cleaned off, and third, the coin is so totally gem original that you won't even see them. This coin is a monster, with eye appeal to spare.  Every Overton collector needs to remember him or herself at this time of year....
