1829 O.118 R5 Capped Bust Half Dollar PCGS XF40 CAC

CAC approved. Finally! The BHNC has officially changed the rarity of this die marriage to R5. For many years, I thought this was the toughest R4 in the book, and now it seems to be getting the recognition it deserves. A fabulous, totally original coin with a lovely hint of album iridescence and soft luster in the protected areas. Most recently from the incredible collection of Dr. Jeff Friedman. This is Die State 118.2, 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.
