Early Half Dollars
1807 50C Draped Bust, O-105, T-4, R.1, MS61 NGC. Tompkins Die State 2/2. Free of any degradation of the dies except for minor die clashing visible above the date and a faint die crack above STATES, this Mint State Draped Bust half is razor-sharp and sharply struck. Later die states develop a die crack and large die lump between E and D in UNITED. Attractive bronzelike, bluish-gray toning deepens slightly at the edges and accentuates virtually unmarked, smooth and glossy fields. Crisply brought-up devices add to the eye appeal. Early Bust halves of this quality are in great demand and they are challenging to find.
