A Capped Bust Half in this "condition" should fetch over $300 easily. Edited by oih82w8 04/02/2012 8:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The obverse devices appear a bit soft but these were often weakly struck. Assuming it is genuine, the grade would be around AU50 and the value about $300. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
