1823 -  O.112 R.1 PCGS MS 63


From the Dr. Charles Link collection, as noted on the PCGS label.  Here is a sharply struck, prooflike specimen!  Mint frost drips from the central devices, stark contrast to the mirror-like fields.  The spaces between shield stripes are fully reflective.  A few surface marks account for the “modest” grade.  The bane of prooflike coins is a proclivity to preserve miniscule signs of handling or contact.  Discard price guides when prooflike bust halves appear at auction.  They are caviar to serious collectors. Est. $3,500 and up.
