This 1812 Capped Bust Silver Half Dollar, identified as Overton 109, is certain to capture the interest of collectors spanning generations. It stands as the sole CAC Gold stickered specimen and clearly surpasses its assigned grade. Our belief is that the graders at PCGS interpreted the die clash and die marks that is predominant on O-109 as abrasions, leading to the assigned grade. Upon our initial inspection, we considered it worthy of a 66 grade. Securing a GOLD CAC on higher mint state grade that happens to be an incredible rare date is incredibly tough to find.

This exquisite piece exudes a sense of originality that is truly captivating. Its well-preserved state beautifully highlights the natural patina acquired from storage, coupled with mint luster. What sets this Capped Bust Half apart is the rarity of finding both these qualities in a single package. To claim it is devoid of any marks, excluding the mentioned die marks, would be an understatement. When held, the coin gleams with a rich mint luster beneath a captivating silvery-gray antique hue. The obverse boasts sharp impressions, with every hair curl meticulously defined. While the left stars exhibit a slight flatness characteristic of this Overton, the right stars showcase distinct radial lines. The reverse surpasses its assigned grade, featuring well-defined shield lines and feathers, presenting an aged gunmetal, smoky appearance.

No such comparable sale exists; however, for context, a less scarce 1827 Square Base 2 50C graded MS66 PCGS CAC recently fetched $34,800 09/23 HA. An 1812 50C MS65 PCGS CAC today would command $20,000-$22,500, whilst a MS66 PCGS CAC example should sell for more than $35,000.
