***Auction Highlight*** 1812/1 Large 8 Some Luster In Protected Areas; Beautiful Colorful Rim Toning On Rev Capped Bust Half Dollar 50c Grades vf++. This Beautiful 1912 Capped Bust half with superb colorful reverse toning and a terrific natural obverse patina was consigned as the legendary 1812/1 Large 8 Variety. This Variety, per PCGS has only 35 known examples and has none ever graded over au55. In the grade of this terrific example, the coin would be valued at approx. $20k. I showed the coin to several experienced capped Bust dealers and my responses as well as my own research is divided. It is certainly the Large , and I do see the line going up through the 2 that is the overdate, but, I believe it is the 1812/1 Large 8, but I am not 100% sure. It might just be a beautiful 1812 with luster in the protected Areas. I will be happy to assist the winner in submitting to PCGS if desired. 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
