1818 O.112 Capped Bust Half Dollar PCGS MS61...Wow!

Quite honestly, this is a head-scratcher. Yes, I sent it to CAC for a sticker, and they declined. Full disclosure...I sent it back a second time and asked for another look. You see the result. To say that I am shocked would be an understatement of epic proportions. This coin is lovely, and darn well in the top 5 MS61 Bust half dollars I've ever seen, using any metric you choose. It is original, really uncirculated, very clean, well struck, fully lustrous with completely intact cartwheels on both sides, essentially untoned and downright impressive. This coin gets a sticker 98 out of 100 times, in my estimation...and we've already taken the two fails! This is Die State 112.1, per the BHNC's new die state handbook, "Die State Progressions of the Capped Bust Half Dollar Die Varieties 1807-1836", which is a very modest cost item, available right here on our website.
