Lot Description

1803 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-101, T-1. Rarity-3. Large 3, 12 Arrows. VF-30 (PCGS). Rich, vivid peripheral toning in steel-blue and reddish-russet is more extensive on the obverse. Bold mid-grade detail throughout, both sides also reveal appreciable luster to the persistent viewer. Three of the four die marriages known for the 1803-dated half dollar issue share the same obverse, identifiable by the large size to the digit 3 in the date. Overton-101, offered here, is the only variety of the issue with only 12 arrows in the eagle's right talon on the reverse. Tompkins Die Stage 1-2/2. Provenance: From the Collection of Silas Stanley Roberts, 1888-1966. PCGS# 6066. NGC ID: 24EF. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
