Losbeschreibung

First in the emission order of 1806 half-dollars and struck from a pair of dies used in the previous year – a unique event in the series.  The overdate is bold, unlike those labeled O.101, 102 and 103.  This is Tompkins’ die state 3, with a reverse cud over Uin UNITEDand a heavy die break through the outside points of stars 11-13.  The coin is essentially perfect for the grade: nice surfaces and natural grey toning, infused with a splash of turquoise.   Est. $650 to $800
