Lot Description

1807 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-105. Rarity-1. AU-58 (PCGS). OGH. The angelic surfaces of this near-Mint example are dusted in a light vanilla and ivory patina. The scantest traces of friction are seen across the highest points, but the fields and protected areas remain well composed and largely untouched. Considerable luster remains in the protected areas of both sides, testifying to the superior preservation throughout. A faint planchet streak traces the top of the eagle's right wing, though this fails to distract from the overall delightful aesthetic. Provenance: From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier ex Heritage's sale of January 2014, lot 4356. PCGS# 6079. NGC ID: 24EM. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
