Lot Description

1806/5 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-101, T-6. Rarity-3. Large Stars. VF-20 (PCGS). The obverse die from which this variety was struck was a leftover from 1805, apparently unused with that date, that was re-annealed, then the 5 overpunched with a 6 for use beginning in the following year. The reverse die of the 1806/5 Overton-101 attribution is readily identifiable by repunching to the letter T in UNITED and the second letter T in STATES. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection, Part II. PCGS# 39296. NGC ID: 24EK. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
