Early Half Dollars
1806 50C Knob 6, Large Stars, O-105a, T-5, R.2, AU55 PCGS. Tompkins Die State 4/1. Tompkins plate coin. The T in LIBERTY is blatantly repunched, and die scratches from the right shield corner and fletchings ensures the attribution. A whisper of gold patina graces this partially lustrous and minimally marked Choice About Uncirculated Bust half. The strike is soft on the rightmost cloud, as often seen for the type. This is the Knob 6, Large Stars obverse -- contrary to the PCGS holder that calls it Small Stars -- even though the correct Overton O-105a designation appears on the holder.
