Description du lot

1805 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-112, T-2. Rarity-2. EF-40 (PCGS). Direct lighting calls forth glints of iridescent reddish-gold and cobalt blue to otherwise mauve-gray surfaces. The high points are a bit blunt to due a combination of striking softness and light wear, but the more protected areas of the design retain sharp EF detail. Pleasingly smooth in hand with strong eye appeal for a lightly circulated early date half dollar. The most readily obtainable die marriage of the issue with a number of About Uncirculated coins joining a single Mint State survivor to make up the Condition Census, Overton-112 is an excellent candidate for inclusion in type set that requires a single example of the Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle design. Tompkins Die Stage 1/1. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 39286. NGC ID: 24EG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
