Description
1811 Capped Bust Half Dollar, MS66+
Finest Known O-110a
1811 50C Small 8 MS66+ NGC. CAC. O-110a, R.1. Ex: "Col."
E.H.R. Green. This well-detailed Premium Gem is a bit lighter in
the centers than the last few offerings but with the same depth of
undisturbed luster. The album toning displays hints of
champagne-gold and violet toning at the peripheries. The strike and
surfaces are impeccable.Stephen Herrman lists one example of an 1811 O-110 in MS66 and another Premium Gem specimen of the O-110a. The Plus designation gives this coin a slight edge over those examples and solidifies its claim to the number one spot in the Condition Census for the variety.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
