- 1805 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-110, T-6. Rarity-5. EF-45 (PCGS). This boldly and vividly toned example exhibits rose-gray centers framed in particularly rich midnight blue and charcoal-olive peripheral toning. Glints of faded luster are evident as the surfaces dip into a light, both sides well centered in strike with overall bold detail remaining throughout the design. A shallow edge bruise at 9 o'clock on the obverse serves as a useful identifier. The 1805 Overton-110 dies are not only scarce in an absolute sense, but this variety is a noteworthy condition rarity that is unknown in Mint State. There are also no AU examples known, in fact, the present example tied for CC#1 with the Tompkins (2015) plate coin that was also certified PCGS EF-45 when it appeared as lot 3551 in Heritage's January 2011 FUN Signature Auction. That coin realized $4,887.50. A find for the astute early half dollar variety specialist that would serve with distinction in the finest set. Tompkins Die Stage 3/1. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier ex our (Stack's) sale of the Estate of Corrado Romano, June 1987, lot 581. PCGS# 39284. NGC ID: 24EG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
