- Nearly-Choice 1806/5 Half Dollar O-103, Large Stars The Second Finest Known 1806/5 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-103, T-8. Rarity-2. Large Stars. MS-62+ (PCGS). Original, vibrant emerald, steel blue, gold, and magenta toning paints both sides of this desirable overdate half dollar. The dies show considerable fatigue, with the denticles largely absent and the peripheral elements pulled toward the rims. The central elements remain nicely defined for the variety, showing the typical softness at center but offering overall pleasant boldness to Liberty's portrait and the eagle's feathers. Satiny and comprehensive, the luster is well composed and shows just the faintest evidence of friction across the highest points. An attractive and impressively preserved example. This is among the very finest survivors of the overdate variety and ranks as second finest known among O-103 examples. It is an important offering for both type collectors and early half dollar specialists. Provenance: Ex RARCOA, privately in August 1987; Heritage's sale of the Hamilton Collection, lot 4466; our August 2018 sale of the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III, lot 3269. PCGS# 39299.
