Lot Description

Subdued luster underlies pale grey toning, darker at the rims.  Evenly impressed, with surfaces free of distractions.  Four die pairs were employed to strike half-dollars in 1803.  Only the O.104 features a small 3, accounting for its relative scarcity.  CAC agreed that this well struck, choice XF is a cut above those usually seen.   Estimate: $3,500 to $4,000
