Description
1835 Capped Bust Half, MS65
Tied For Finest O-103
1835 50C MS65 NGC. CAC. O-103, R.2. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green.
This delightful Gem appears to be tied for top spot in the
Condition Census for the variety. The central devices are sharply
struck. The reverse die, it may be noted, emerged unscathed from
its earlier use on the 1834 O-119. The richly toned, intensely
lustrous obverse features iridescent shades of golden-brown,
lavender, and lilac toning. The silver-gray reverse is more lightly
toned with pastel colors and iridescence through most of the
legend. Three dots alongside star 2 are mint made, thought by
students to have been imparted by the mechanism used to eject coins
from the coining chamber of the screw press. The overall eye appeal
of this 1835 half dollar is remarkable.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 @ $3.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.(Registry values: N4719)

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.
