Lot Description

Die State 112.1. While this is a plentiful die marriage in an absolute sense, the Condition Census for the 1833 O-112 provided by Stephen J. Herrman in the Spring 2026 revision to his AMBPR for Bust half dollars ranges in grade from MS-63 through MS-66. The present example, off the market for decades, is not included therein, although as a highly lustrous near-Gem it qualifies for this important distinction. Sharply struck and frosty with blushes of reddish-gold toning lining the left borders that interrupt otherwise sparkling white brilliance.
