1808 Half, PCGS AU58
Here is an 1808 Capped Bust Half in PCGS AU58. It is the die marriage O-103. Despite what the images show, it is largely very light in toning across the coin on each side, except near the rims and with a touch of patina/rub on the devices. Most of the coin is silvery with a strong and flashy luster where the cartwheels are brought out under the light. One can begin to envision this by going between the two images above and observing how the dark areas on each side turn to light areas with different orientations relative to the lights. With these largely silvery surfaces, this example has a great look to it, and just some light rub away from being something like an MS62 or MS63. On the obverse are lightly toned areas along the rims that are a shade of mostly a subtle aqua blue and on the reverse, a subtle amber. Just a delightful pq example that meet expectations of CAC.
This coin is approved by CAC.
PCGS Cert. #21962060
