Description
1807 Capped Bust Half, MS63
Small Stars, O-113
Condition Census Example
1807 50C Capped Bust, Small Stars MS63 NGC. O-113, R.2. Ex:
"Col." E.H.R. Green. This well-struck Select example displays
surprisingly vibrant mint luster and lightly toned silver centers,
with dramatic rings of cobalt-blue and lime-green toning at the
peripheries. Only minor contact marks are evident and the eye
appeal is first rate. The 1807 Small Stars is not terribly
difficult to locate in circulated grades, but choice AU and
Uncirculated examples are rare and under enormous pressure from
advanced collectors. We know of two PCGS MS65 specimens including
the incomparable James Pryor coin that sold privately not long ago
for a six-figure price. Buddy Byers owned the other. It brought in
excess of $50,000 at Stack's October 2006 sale, lot 1014. Nothing
comparable to the Newman Select Uncirculated coin has appeared at
auction over the last several years. Fasten your seat belts!Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $20.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

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.
