1805 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-112, T-2. Rarity-2. EF-40 (ANACS).A richly original, deeply toned example awash in a blend of charcoal-steel, olive-gray and, on the reverse, midnight blue patina. Well defined from a nicely executed strike, most design elements are bold. As the most readily obtainable die marriage of the 1805 Draped Bust half dollar, O-112 is an excellent candidate for inclusion in a type set. Tompkins Die Stage 1/1.From The Des Moines Collection.
