Early Half Dollars
1802 50C O-101, T-1, R.3, VF20 PCGS. A problem-free example with stone-gray surfaces that exhibit faint traces of tan toning. Only a single die marriage is known for this challenging date. Bullion depositors of the day preferred payment in silver dollars, since fewer coins needed to be counted to pay out a given amount.
Ex: Houston Signature (Heritage, 12/2008), lot 676; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2009), lot 718.
