- 1803 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-101, T-1. Rarity-3. Large 3, Small Reverse Stars. EF-45 (PCGS). Largely dove-grey with deeper violet and bronze iridescence painting the borders. Uniformly bold with just a tinge of softness to the left side of the shield as seen on all specimens. Evenly worn with subtle traces of luster remaining in the protected areas. A shallow mark at Liberty's neck will aid in tracing this important piece through future cabinets. The production of half dollars jumped dramatically for the 1803 issue, rising to 188,234 from less than 30,000 the year prior. The vast majority of these were struck in 1804, as there were no 1804-dated half dollars issued for circulation. This high mintage makes the 1803 issue one of the most popular for type collectors, and attractive, well preserved specimens like the present Choice EF piece are always in high demand. Provenance: From the Sutton Court Collection. Earlier from our (Coin Galleries') sale of April 1985. PCGS# 39270. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
