FSH & ebay; 1822 CBH 0-113 lustrous AU53

3 posts in this topic

From my ebay listing;

1822 CAPPED BUST HALF 0-113 CHOICE ABOUT UNCIRCULATED ABUNDANT LUSTER. This is, I believe, the Overton 113 variety. Considerable luster remains over well struck and well preserved surfaces, with minimal light, even wear. While this may have been "dipped" at some point many years ago, it has, in my opinion, not been abrasively cleaned or wiped, and has retoned in a pleasing manner. There is a "strike through" ( caused by debris on the die at the time of striking, and therefore is as struck) at the second star. There are also two very tiny scratches, one just in front of the tip of the bust @ 8:00, and another at the rim @ 4:00, between the 11th & 12th star. The circular line just touching the 12th star is an untoned streak. There is an additional wavy, shallow line just behind the portrait, in the right field. These are mentioned for accuracy, and are detectable only upon close examintion, and not distracting.A very attractive Bust Half. $330/$340 delivered CK/PP
