The August 2010 Boston Rarities Sale

ロット詳細: 1812 Capped Bust Left Half Eagle. BD-1, HBCC-3124, Miller-118. Rarity-3. Wide 5D. MS-65 (PCGS). Secure Holder. A resplendent Gem, the importance of this coin for advanced gold type purposes cannot be overstated. For while the 1812 BD-1 is a fairly plentiful die marriage by the standards of the Capped Bust Left Half Eagle series, examples are very rare and seldom encountered in the finest Mint State grades.<br />     Bathed in yellow-gold color and smooth, satiny luster, this coin really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. The surfaces are exceptionally smooth for the type with hardly even trivial abrasions in evidence. Virtually full in strike, and sure to have no difficulty finding its way into the finest numismatic cabinet.
