1823 Capped Bust Half Dollar PCGS MS65 CAC O-112 Ex. Link-O'Neil
As far as Gem Capped Bust Halves go, this example is undoubtedly choice and astoundingly original. The eye appeal of this coin is sublime, and the surfaces are draped in a lovely soft rainbow tone throughout, no doubt from years of storage in an envelope of some sort. Shades of apricot, sky blue, tangerine, russet, and cerulean bathe the impeccable fields. Well struck, the devices are sharp and the coin carries a hammered strike. This lovely bust half is a luster bomb and it pops exceedingly well under light. This is one coin you would never get tired of looking at. This die marriage is especially interesting with the noticable doubling of the face of miss liberty, giving it the appearance of a DDO.
Having the Link and O'Neil pedigrees with this coin is a real treat, and a testament to the quality and eye appeal.
