Description du lot

1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-113a, T-14. Rarity-3. Two Leaves, A/E in STATES. VG-8 (PCGS). Lightly to moderately toned surfaces retain bold outline definition to all devices, the strike ideally centered within uniformly denticulated borders. Smooth in hand with superior eye appeal for a well worn early half dollar. Overton-113 is a particularly popular die marriage of the 1795 Flowing Hair issue, the letter A in STATES clearly repunched over an erroneous E. The obverse is also readily identifiable by a prominent die break below the bust between the digit 5 in the date and star 15. In the later O-113a state, offered here, the obverse exhibits additional rough die breaks between stars 12 to 15. Provenance: From the Dr. James McCallum Collection. Acquired August 2, 1974. PCGS# 39252. NGC ID: 24E7. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
