1826 - O.115 R.5- PCGS AU 55
An enticing example of this rare die pair – not far from the Condition Census. Sunset colors surround the devices. Stars 1-7 are alive with electric turquoise and russet iridescence. The sole distraction is a spot of dark toning between D and S of the legend. I repeat the admonition to perk up and pay attention whenever an R.5 capped bust half-dollar graded AU becomes available. Est. $1,500 to $2,000.
