- 1805 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-105a, T-12. Rarity-6. VF-20 (PCGS). An important Condition Census example of this rare die marriage. Mostly dove-grey with apricot patina on the high points and rich honey iridescence near the borders. Considerable traces of luster glow from around the devices, complementing the overall smooth surfaces. Well struck for the variety despite a late die state. The reverse die is failing in a rather dramatic fashion equivalent to Tompkins Die Stage 5, and a full cud now spans the entire length of STATES. The tops of ITE in UNITED are joined by a thick break, with a thinner crack passing through N into the arrowheads and shield. This die marriage is considered rare both with or without the breaks at the top of ITE, and no examples are known above EF condition. The Condition Census for the O-105a variety is topped by a pair of EF examples, followed by a few VF specimens, most with problems. This handsome problem-free example sits nicely in the middle of this roster, making it an incredibly desirable representative of this Rarity-6 variety. Provenance: From the Sutton Court Collection. PCGS# 39278. NGC ID: 24EG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
