1801 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-102, T-1. Rarity-4. VF-35 (PCGS). Pleasing mid-circulated quality on this 1801 half with the first year of the larger Heraldic eagle reverse design. The surfaces are rich pearl-gray with golden and, to a lesser degree, rose highlights. The Overton 102 variety is the scarcer of the two die marriages employed to strike half dollars in 1801, each pairing a shared obverse die with a distinct reverse. The O-102 variety is readily identifiable by 12 arrows in the eagle's claw and the joining of the first A in AMERICA to the adjacent feathers. This reverse die was again used the following year to strike the entirety of the mintage in 1802. Tompkins Die Stage 1/3. Provenance: From the BASH Collection.
