golden tone and splendid surfaces ovreall. The strike is

Handsome old crusty toning with dusky gold and orange
tints throughout. These early half eagles were the primary
backbone of large transactions during this era, half dollars
served a major part in day to day transactions too. Not
many survived from the original time of issue. Only 99,581

Mint State like the present coin.

Lovely golden toning on both sides, and boldly struck. The
surfaces are satin sweet and free of any major detractions.
This is the first appearance of the Capped Bust left design,
and the vast majority of these were melted in the next gen-
eration. Only 95,428 struck, and precious few survive
today. (
