Lot Description

Tompkins Die Stage 2/3. The final die marriage struck for the 1803-dated half dollar issue, Overton-104 is readily attributable as the only Small 3 variety of the date. It is represented here by a conditionally scarce NGC-certified AU that exhibits pretty undertones of pale gold, powder blue and pinkish-rose iridescence as the surfaces rotate under a light. Otherwise warmly toned in mauve-gray and steely-olive, bold to sharp detail in all but a few isolated areas is another strong suit for this handsome piece.
