Ex Friend, as noted on the insert. This is a glorious O-116, a Condition Census level example of this Rarity-3 die marriage. Struck using obverse die 9 which featured a recut TY in LIBERTY. This is the second die marriage to use this obverse, which was used to strike O-115, O-116, and O-117. This coin is struck from Tompkins' Die State 3 on the obverse and Die State 5 on the reverse, showing all the extensive die cracks described. With the Census listed at 65,65,64,64,60.This is the fourth highest graded example recorded in the Spring 2021 Revision of Stephen Herrman's AMBPR. A lovely toned VERY CHOICE Brilliant Uncirculated example that is on the cusp of a higher grade designation and a grand example of this early type. Typical to the date, there is some softness in the centers and stronger definition to the peripheral details; that said, the definition is more complete in the hair curls, shield, and breast feathers than usually encountered. Exceptional luster beams through a mélange of rich color that is a real delight to behold! Impressive blues, teals, golds, violets, and antique silver all swirl and are brought out by a strong mint brilliance. Extensive die cracks on both sides define the latest die state described in the Tompkins reference on early U.S. half dollars, 1794-1807. Ex Dale Friend Collection, Heritage, August 2018, lot 5125; our consignor. Prior pedigree not recorded, but it is not from the Queller Collection. Struck from the same Die State as the Eliasberg coin (April 1997, lot 1691, but the half tone photo does not allow for positive plate matching). PCGS 9, NGC 10. This was the most recent PCGS MS64 "Pointed 6, Stem" to sell in auction, realizing $21,600 in August 2018. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $35,000. Scarce finer, PCGS has graded 14 finer in all grades MS64+ to MS67. With GEMS selling close to six figures, this is a fantastic example for type collectors! Cert. Number 35594610 PCGS # 6071.00
