Capped Bust
	1829	MS62	PCGS 84223382	LM-7.1	Choice	$825	New October 19! Scarce R4 Die Pairing, Choice Original, Lakeland Collection. The Logan-McCloskey die variety reference calls out the 1829 LM-7.1 die marriage as being scarce with difficulties locating specimens in EF or better. This lovely MS62 certified example should garner prompt attention. A golden rose-gray patina is further decorated by ebony-gray at the stars and legend. Steely surfaces emit natural reflective luster. The strike is complete with well defined center curls, stars, and lower eagle talons. The connected RI in AMERICA designates the reverse with an initial die chip within U(N)ITED consistent with the LM-7.1 die marriage. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1830	MS62	NGC 6323634004	LM-7	Choice	$685	Frosted Luster, Light Gray Patina, Choice Surfaces, Crazy Joe Collection. Consignor Buyout - Price Reduction! Another conservatively graded 1830 Capped Bust half dime that is certain to please the new owner. The granular frosted luster is big and bold during initial bright light review along with decent cartwheel action. The field on both sides are essentially unabraded with a single tiny contact point on the upper cheek that is visible on the image. The originality is validated by the darker copper-gold on the reverse periphery with some extension to the obverse. A consignor buyout that has not been submitted to CAC since graded. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1830	EF40	PCGS 20673309	LM-14	Choice	$275	Antique Gray Toning, Peripheral Mint Frost, Attractive at Grade. I will certainly add lower price early types coins to inventory when meeting eye appeal and originality standards. This choice 1830 LM-14 half dime performs well to both requirements. Love the remaining peripheral mint frost on the obverse and reverse. This piece is well balanced and warranting CAC approval. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. A new GFRC buyback to consider.
	1831	MS62	NGC 4239596005	LM-6	Choice	$950	New November 20! Steely-Frosted Luster, Rose-Blue Centers, Strictly Original Presentation, CAC Approved. Yet another 2024 Whitman Baltimore new purchase that immediately spoke to me during its initial inspection. Steely-frosted luster has some sparkling traits under a bright light, and most important, is perfectly consistent on both sides. Blended rose-blue patina is predominate on the obverse center with the rose hues being a bit more pervasive on the reverse. The strike is complete with unabraded surfaces noted under a 10x. Overall, this is a charming piece that is a pleasure to view with angled lighting. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	1832	MS65	NGC 6687132002	LM-5	Gem	$3100	Superb Gem, Thick Frosted Luster, Peripheral Toning. The 1832 LM-5 die pairing is a common die marriage for that year. LM-5 is the second reuse of a reverse die with filled loops in STATE(S) and progressive die cracking . This newly acquired example is a case study for the earlier die state without die cracks. Devices are razor sharp given the hammered strike. Thick frosted luster appears under bright light with the pastel green-gold peripheral rings being just delightful. A no question gem that did not secure a CAC bean, therefore it stands on its own merits, which are strong. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1832	MS63	PCGS OGH 9412666	LM-3	Choice	$995	Frosted Luster, Golden-Gray Patina, Complete Strike, Choice Surfaces, Sheffield Collection. A fully choice 1832 LM-3 with soft frosted luster and golden-gray coloration. Under a bright light, the golden shades are dominant on both sides. This type of patina and the naturally lustrous surfaces scream originality. The strike is also complete with high relief stars and fully defined hair curls. The surfaces are pristine and entirely unabraded. Well preserved and about as original as one could expect for a Capped Bust half dime. A strong release from the Sheffield Collection. Housed in PCGS 3.0 (1990-1993) old green holder.
	1832	AU58	NGC 4748106009	LM-3	Choice	$525	Frosted Luster, Light Rose-Gray Patina, Complete Strike. The release of a newly purchased Capped Bust half dime lot continues with this 1832 LM-3 example. Softly glowing frosted luster is consistent on both sides with rose-gray coloration being more evident on the reverse. The obverse is silver-gray with some teal-gray shades at the lower right stars and date. The reverse is fully struck with die cracks within a weak legend. With a 10x, light rub was confirmed on the cheek. A choice lot overall that warrants special consideration. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1832	AU50	PCGS 25085130	LM-4	Choice	$350	Challenging Die Pairing, Steely -Frosted Luster, Attractive and Pleasing. LM-4 is a scarce die marriage with the highlight being a cracked die from rim and through the cap. This example offers steely-frosted luster that is quite brilliant under a bright light. Silver-gray toning is consistent on both sides while ample amounts of mint frost are noted in all of the protected areas. The GFRC images provides a reasonable representation of the luster. The upper obverse die crack is sharp under a 10x. This lot was struck with dies that have yet to full crack leading to a full cud as illustrate in the Logan-McCloskey reference. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder.
	1833	AU50	ANACS 4976421	LM-10	Choice	$245	Crusty Gray Patina, Choice Surfaces, Complete Strike, Lakeland Collection. Consignor Pricing Reduction. The Capped Bust half dime design was issued from 1829 through 1837 before the transition to Christian Gobrecht's Liberty Seated artistry during 1837. Collecting the series by date is not a difficult endeavor other than locating a premium 1837 example. This lovely 1833 issue is 100% original and overlayed with a fairly thick crusty gray patina. The ANACS grading is more than accurate as the strike and residual device details are limited only by light rub. Don't let the ANACS gold label holder hold you back from purchasing this piece as this one is all there for the grade and them some.
	1833	AU50	PCGS 27305838	LM-7	Original	$275	Light Gold, Steely Fields, Near-Choice, Thinning the Herd Collection. Angled lighting bares the lightly toned surfaces with steely reflective luster revealed. Obverse reflectance is sharp while the reverse leans to frosted characteristics. Strike is typical. A near-choice specimen with several field lines. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder.
	1833	EF45	PCGS 28989578	LM-10	Choice	$260	Choice Original, Attractive Ebony-Rose Patina, Fully Struck. A lovely 1833 LM-10 Capped Bust half dime with rich ebony rose patina during in hand viewing. Tilting this piece into a light source melts the darker toning and exposes light gray reflective surfaces. Strike is complete with choice original surfaces. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder. Definitely above average and ideal for the selective collector.
	1834	MS64	PCGS 47156173		Choice	$1400	Sparkling Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Hammered Strike, Near-Gem Original. I like the 1834 Capped Bust half dime date as the variety attribution is straightforward with only three reverse dies, each distinctly different. LM-2 has an obverse with star 8 touching the top of the cap, an easy to memorize attribution point. Within a recently purchased CBHD lot is this near-gem example with sparkling obverse radiance while the reverse is "thickly" frosted. Surfaces are unquestionably pristine and a 10x viewing pleasure. Then there is a hammered strike with every intricate reverse detail being carefully cut into the working die. For whatever your collecting pursuits, this superb lot needs consideration. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder.
	1834	MS63	NGC 6683969004	LM-2	Choice	$1050	Brilliant Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Fully Choice . Rich frosted luster radiates from this 1834 LM-2 Capped Bust half dime while the cartwheels are vibrant and pleasing. Strike is meticulously executed with deeply impressed motifs that are intricately detailed. Heavily die clashing is seen in front of the face and below left facing wing. During this later die state, the lower reverse has lost details due to progressive die lapping. A solid example for an advanced collection. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1835 Large Date, Large 5C	AU58	NGC 3726397001	LM-3	Choice	HOLD $375	Frosted Luster, Medium Copper-Gold Toning, Choice Surfaces, Lakeland Collection. Consignor Pricing Reduction. The 1835 LM-3 half dime is accurately graded and pleasing overall at the AU58 grade level. Surfaces are toned a moderate copper-gray with thicker shades on the obverse, as expected for an original silver piece. Under a bright light, the luster is best described as steely-frosted. Light rub on the cheek is seen with a 10x. A pretty little piece from the Lakeland Collection. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	1836 Small 5C	AU55	NGC 6607176003	LM-2	Original	$475	New November 30! Better Die Pairing, Vertically Cracked Obverse Die, Steely Fields, Well Struck, Sooner Collection. A notable 1836 LM-2 Capped Bust half with struck with the LM-2 die pairing with R3 rarity per the Logan-McCloskey tome. Surfaces offer steely reflectivity with angled lighting. The vertical obverse die crack is well formed and continuous from the top to bottom rims. The tops of (S)TATE(S) are partial in the reverse along with the 5 in the denomination. This Sooner lot is a trophy for those that enjoy Capped Bust die varieties. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
