1829 - O.111 R.2 PCGS AU 55 CAC
In 2009, when my great friend David Kahn sold his magnificent personal collection, he chided PCGS for the "lowly" AU 55 grade. Dave wrote ... here is a coin that PCGS simply got wrong ...[It] is virtually perfect in all respects .... The fields are smooth and hard, the luster virtually full, the toning is an amazing amalgam of grays, blues, russets and ambers and the originality is superb. Dave got it right! When you are asked whether you have a "truly original" bust halfdollar pull out this little beauty. The consignor enjoyed his purchase for 6+ years. Pride of ownership now passes to the winning bidder. Est. $900 to $1,250.
