Lot Description

1807 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-108, T-1. Rarity-3. VF-35 (NGC). A deep amber glow at the borders accents the subtle champagne complexion of this dazzling piece. The luster is vibrant and satiny on both sides, showcasing the smooth and unblemished surfaces. The weakness seen to Liberty's portrait is typical for the variety and should not be mistaken for friction. Offered in Coin Galleries' April 1985 sale as "Extremely Fine" and certainly Choice for the assigned grade. Provenance: From the Sutton Court Collection of Early Half Dollar Varieties. Earlier ex from our (Coin Galleries') sale of April 1985, lot 2132. NGC Census: 8; 2 finer through AU-55 (O-108 variety only). PCGS# 6079. NGC ID: 24EM. Click here for certification details from NGC.
