Lot Description

1807 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-102, T-8. Rarity-2. AU-50 (PCGS). The bright silver complexion of this Draped Bust half is garnished by pale lemon color at the obverse border and some deeper russet accents at the reverse rim. Boldly defined and exhibiting subtle clash marks (as struck) around the central device on the obverse. This die pairing is popular with type and date collectors as modest numbers are known in high grades, and is often the choice to represent the type of the Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle design. Scarcely circulated and attractive, with eye pleasing toning to dazzle the numismatist who desires quality and appeal. Provenance: From the Birdwatcher Type Set, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit The Nature Conservancy. PCGS# 6079. NGC ID: 24EM. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
