Lot Description

Tompkins Die Stage 3/1. The Overton-112 is a popular die marriage of the 1795 Flowing Hair half dollar issue for type purposes, and this well circulated example retains bold enough detail to appeal to budget minded collectors. Otherwise brilliant, blushes of golden-russet and olive iridescence decorate the peripheries on the obverse. The date was first cut far too low at the denticles, then recut higher in the correct location.
