详细说明

1805 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-111, T-3. Rarity-2. AU-58 (PCGS). A particularly colorful example, both sides are target toned in vivid midnight blue, salmon pink, antique gold, cobalt blue, olive gray and pinkish-rose. The toning is largely iridescent in quality, allowing ready appreciation of nearly full satin luster. Softly defined over isolated peripheral features, the overall appearance is one of uncommon sharpness for a Draped Bust half dollar. Free of individually mentionable marks, this is an outstanding example that is equally well suited for high grade type and variety purposes. While Overton-111 is the second most common die marriage of the 1805-dated half dollar issue, the variety is conditionally rare in the finest circulated and Mint State grades. In fact, the present example in PCGS AU-58 is tied for CC#3 according to both the Tompkins (2015) and Herrman (Spring 2019) listings. Tompkins Die Stage 2/2. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier ex Superior's session of Auction '87, July-August 1987, lot 1747, where it was misattributed as O-112. PCGS# 39285. NGC ID: 24EG.
