1828 Sq.2, Sm.8, Lg. Lets - O.116 R.2 NGC AU 55
Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green, noted on the NGC label. From Heritage’s Nov. 2013 sale of Eric Newman’s remarkable accumulation of originally toned bust half-dollars. Heritage sought my services in cataloging the series. This was lot 34468. I penned a brief description: “Rich aquamarine and golden-brown toning blankets this briefly circulated Choice AU half dollar. Marks are minor and confined to the field near the beak.” Newman’s brown kraft envelope accompanies, noting his grade and cost: “Uncirculated -- $4.00.” Our consignor was the winning bidder at $1,645. Every bust half collector should have the Newman provenance in his or her collection. If you missed out, consider this a lucky second chance - and expect competition. Est. $500 and up.
