O-101, Amato-162. A great looking collector grade example of this, the rarest silver type coin in the U.S. series. Evenly worn with deep dove, slate, and battleship blue-gray hues with accents of lilac, gold, and pale purple. The surfaces are generally smooth and devoid of any distracting marks that often plague lower grade examples. For the modest grade, the details are strong and bold. Only 934 1796 half dollars (both 15 and 16 star varieties) are estimated to have been struck, and for the two years, of the draped bust, small eagle series the mint struck fewer than 4,000 total, making it the rarest silver type coin. This puts strong demand on every example that comes up for sale, be it a low grade/damaged piece, or a seven-figure GEM. Add to this, demand from serious half dollar collectors who need them for a date or Overton variety set, and you have a coin that each time it appears at auction bring out much bidding attention. PCGS 10, NGC 2. The most recent example to sell in auction was the Norweb-Hamilton Collection coin that realized $49,350 in the 2016 ANA sale. Before that, an NGC coin, with numerous little cuts in the obverse that sold for $47,000 in April 2015. The current PCGS price is listed at $52,500. This important coin should certainly see strong bidding. If you are looking for an example for your collection and you do not want to spend high five figures or more, this attractive FINE will fit nicely into your set. PCGS # 6057 Cert.
