FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART II. Ex Pogue-Friend, as noted on the insert. Despite a decent sized mintage of 211,722 the 1805 half dollar is a shockingly scarce issue even in lower and mid grades. In Mint State it is a fabulous rarity. This O-111 from the Pogue Collection is the SECOND FINEST KNOWN for the variety and among the very finest of the date as well. A strong luster glows boldly in the fields, particularly in the devices. The obverse brilliance accents a rich melange of gold, pastel blue, coppery-apricot, and lilac that comes out in a light. The satiny reverse is a touch more mellow and the toning is slightly more subdued, but no less attractive. Generally well struck throughout, the devices are strongly defined. There are only a couple of minor marks that can be seen with effort, serving to identify this impressive Mint State piece for all time. Ex Nebraska Collection, Part V, R.M. Smythe & Co., May 2001, lot 1094; D. Brent Pogue Collection; Stack's Bowers/Sotheby's sale of the D. Brent Pogue Collection, Part I, May 2015, lot 1110; Dale Friend Collection.. PCGS 2, NGC 1, CAC 1. This lovely coin brought $32,900 in its last appearance nearly seven years ago and today the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $40,000. Just five are graded finer at PCGS for the date, including the Col. Green-Eric Newman-Charles Link-Chicago Collection MS62 we sold in September 2021. Bound for a world class collection of early half dollars by die marriage, and a coin that will see very strong bidding. Cert. Number 35594604 PCGS # 6069
