Description du lot

1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-129, T-7. Rarity-5. Second S/D in STATES, Two Leaves. Fine-12 (PCGS). Warmly patinated in steel gray, both sides also reveal more vivid undertones of powder blue, antique gold and pale pink as the surfaces dip into a light. All design elements are appreciable, and most are boldly outlined. Overton-129 represents the only use of this reverse die in the Flowing Hair half dollar series, the variety readily attributable and popular due to the second letter S in STATES being punched over an errant D. Tompkins Die Stage 1/5. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 39259. NGC ID: 24E7. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
