***Auction Highlight*** 1809 O-106 R-3 Capped Bust Half Dollar 50c Graded ms64 By SEGS. Incredible preservation for an 1809 half dollar as the fields show abundant luster and rich golden-rose iridescent toning on the obverse and reverse, well matched and even. It is the O-106 R-3 Variety, and is tied for 5th finest known in the Variety. The strike is sharp as well, as Liberty's curls and ear are full as are the eagle's talons and feathers, areas that are often encountered with softness. Of course the absolute and end all here are is the surface quality. Study the fields and devices, as they are virtually free of contact or handling marks, this is absolutely extraordinary for a large coin of this period, and hence has earned the near Gem Mint State-64. A sparkling jewel with a commanding presence that is certain to grace any collection. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
