Description du lot

Tompkins Die Stage 2/2. The obverse is bright silver with a few splashes of russet toning in the fields which are accented near the rims with bright blue. Abundant mint luster is evident with pewter-silver hues dominating that side. The reverse is similar but with more intense blue and russet toning. The strike is bold for an early U.S. Mint silver coin, as Liberty shows strong curl definition; light clashing from the shield around her ear and clouds above the date are as made. For the reverse the bold strike brought up the full shield and even the tiny breast feathers on the eagle, along with bold to sharp detail on the stars above. Outstanding surface quality with equally superior eye appeal.<p>This is the single finest known example of the 1803 O-103 dies, and is a stand out prize for the variety, type or date collector who demands the very best available. Furthermore, this is one of the finest known for the 1803-dated half dollar issue and tied at CC#2 behind at most two examples certified MS-64 by PCGS.
