Watch List notes:

USA (Philadelphia Mint), Capped Bust half dollar, 1831, O-108 variety, ex-Tuscaloosa Hoard (Civil War era).13.33 grams.This piece is one of 276 buried coins discovered in April of 1998 in Northport, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, by resident Steve Webb while digging for a fence post. The Tuscaloosa Hoard (also known as the Tuscaloosa Collection) was most likely buried during the Civil War by a local merchant for safekeeping during the turbulent period. The hoard consisted mostly of early to mid-1800s US halves and quarters along with a few gold US $2.50 and $1 pieces, plus several Spanish and French silver coins. The hoard was disseminated in the early 2000s and very few of these Civil War relics have turned up in recent years. Bold VF, previously cleaned with faint toning starting to form around some of the design elements, very desirable provenance and the earliest date we have offered from this hoard.From the "Tuscaloosa Hoard" (1860s) near Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with certificate.
($125-200)
