Early Half Dollars
1803 50C Large 3, Small Reverse Stars, O-101, T-1, R.3, AU53 NGC. A minimally marked, cream-gray example of the Large 3 type with light, golden-brown and aqua patina near the margins. Slight highpoint wear is consistent with the AU53 grade level. Minor adjustment marks are visible at the lower right obverse, with die clashing noted on the reverse. Sharp definition exists on Liberty's hair and many of the eagle's breast feathers above the shield remain intact, while the beak and head show wear. Soft luster is strongest at the margins.
