CH EF |

Choice Extremely Fine. Light golden toning is joined by subtle amber and lilac hues on this beautifully toned, gently lustrous specimen. Vivid detail is to be found in the central devices on both sides, with just a little striking softness in Miss Liberty's topmost hair curls. Here is a well balanced coin that would make an ideal candidate for a type or date set of Half Dollars. |
