Description
This 1812 Capped Bust half dollar, graded PCGS MS65+, stands out for active luster and satiny texture. Early half dollars attract specialists for their die-marriage study, hand-punched details, and strong place in early federal silver. Attribution specialists will note O-105A. The Eliasberg pedigree provides additional provenance interest for collectors who value documented cabinet history. Mint State preservation is central to its appeal, particularly because marks, strike softness, or impaired luster can quickly limit comparable coins. Assembling comparable quality within this series is challenging, which gives this piece meaningful collector relevance.
