Early Half Dollars
1794 50C O-101a, T-7, High R.3, VG8 NGC. Tompkins Die State 1/5. A die crack between the uppermost single leaf on the wreath to the outer curve of the second S in STATES defines the latest die state of Overton-101a. The area is exposed to abrasions and wear, and often the crack appears more ridgelike than clearly defined on well-worn pieces. Such is the case with this example. Iridescent toning melds into a brownish-gray and blue patina, with silver-gray high points. Weakness at the lower obverse diminishes the rim and dentils, where the date and star 15 are worn but visible.
From The Terry Brand Estate, Part IV.
