Lot Description

1805/4 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-101, T-4. Rarity-4-. VF-20 (PCGS). A handsome mid grade example with mottled steel-olive and powder blue toning to a base of silver-gray. Peripheral softness is largely a function of strike, which is often soft for the Draped Bust half dollar as a type. The central design elements, on the other hand, retain appreciable boldness in the more protected areas. Desirable both for circulated type purposes and as an example of the scarce 1805/4 Overton-101 die pairing. Tompkins Die Stage 1/1. PCGS# 6070. NGC ID: 24EH.
