Description
1813 Capped Bust Half, MS67+ ★
Finest Known O-107a
1813 50C MS67+ ★ NGC. CAC. O-107a, R.1. Ex: "Col." E.H.R.
Green. What might one say about a coin of this caliber? It is
everything you expect of the stratospheric MS67+ ★ designation. The
coin is truly "as struck" in terms of luster and preservation, with
the joyous addition of iridescent color through the stars and
legend. The luminous silver centers are surrounded by
champagne-gold and electrified cobalt-blue toning. This coin
combines Registry Set technical quality with breathtaking eye
appeal in one irresistible package.The present coin is at least two grading points finer than any other example of an 1813 O-107 (or O-107a). NGC president Mark Salzberg recently reminded us how "daunting" it was to grade the Newman coins that are clearly "several points above the next finest known example." Bidders will enjoy an exhilarating experience in the auction room when this coin reaches the podium.

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.
