1805 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-109a, T-14. Rarity-4-. VF-20 (PCGS).A predominantly silver gray example with glints of olive encircling the peripheries. The strike is uneven, blunt over the bottom of Libertys portrait and at the clouds and star field on the reverse, but we do note bolder definition elsewhere. The 1805 Overton-109 die pairing is not a major rarity in an absolute sense, but it is challenging to locate in grades at and above the EF level. This pleasing VF, therefore, represents solid value for the specialized early half dollar variety collector. Tompkins Die Stage 1/3.From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection.
