- Classic 1797 O-101a Half Dollar Rarity 1797 Draped Bust Half Dollar. Small Eagle. O-101a. Rarity-5. VG-8 (PCGS). Attractive silver-gray toning throughout which is even and just slightly lighter on the devices. Smooth wear on the high points of the design; the expected softness is noted on the lower right reverse and on the right wing of the eagle, diagnostic to this die variety. No adjustment marks or rim problems are seen. At most a few shallow pin lines are seen from casual handling or circulation, but these are not at all distracting. This is the usual die state with the crack through the second obverse star to Liberty's curls and a complex series of cracks on the upper left reverse, earlier and less developed than often seen but certainly present. The overall presentation is well balanced, particularly so for this historic rarity, as many of these early silver coins show considerable problems. A truly impressive example of this rare date.Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers Here is another opportunity to acquire a rare half dollar of the 1796-1797 Small Eagle type, this in a grade that is quite affordable within the context of the series. PCGS# 6060.
