1805 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-104, T-10. Rarity-5-. VF-35 (PCGS).Appreciable luster remains on both sides of this endearing piece, the otherwise silver gray surfaces with splashes of iridescent reddish-russet around the peripheries. Well defined overall for a mid grade early half dollar with a pleasing appearance in all regards. A scarce and conditionally challenging die marriage of the 1805-dated half dollar issue, the Condition Census for Overton-104 provided by Steve Tompkins (2015) reads: 58, 55, 45, 40, 35, 30. Clearly a significant offering, this attractive Choice VF is sure to have no difficulty finding its way into another early half dollar variety set. Tompkins Die Stage 3/3.From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection.
