1827/6 50C Half Dollar Capped Bust, Let Edge Overton 102 PCGS MS66 (CAC) Ex. POGUE

We had the pleasure of selling this gorgeous GEM in our September 2018 sale of the Konstantine Collection, where we described it as “among the very FINEST KNOWN 1827/6s that survive for collectors; PCGS has only graded a single coin marginally finer as a 66+.

This beautifully toned, ultra-GEM grade example has a spectacular eye appeal and clearly was lovingly cared for and preserved, a remarkable miracle of numismatic survival. A bold, glowing luster radiates with superb brilliance on both sides, rolling along with strong cartwheels. The spectacular visual allure is augmented by a very attractive pale blue that dominates toward the peripheries, fading and blending with hues of peach, gold, and soft pewter. The surfaces are smooth, and the luster is ultra creamy with a strong, satiny texture. The devices are sharply struck up and crisply rendered by an exacting blow from the dies. The eye appeal is intense and SUPERB. It is almost unbelievable that a Capped Bust half could look this beautiful after so many years!”

PCGS 3, NGC 2, CAC 3. This coin is a significant value that needs a great home. We paid $37,600.00 01/2020. This great GEM has been off the market ever since! The price guides are totally incorrect for this coin. Definitely, we have not seen many Bust Halves earlier than 1830 for the past 2-3 years. This coin is a treasure and is Ex Pogue.
