DRAPED BUST HALF DOLLARS

1803 50C AU50 PCGS.  O-102a, High R.3. Struck from the same obverse die as O-101 and 103. The reverse die is different and can most easily be distinguished by 13 arrows on the reverse, rather than the 12 that are seen on the O-101. There is also an obvious die dot below the D in UNITED on the 102 coins. Nearly full luster is present with some central weakness but otherwise sharp details. Both sides have pleasing golden-rose color with hints of rose toning. A few scattered surface marks are visible on each side, but none are significant. A few diagonal drawing lines are evident at the lower left part of the obverse. These parallel grooves were created when the silver strip was prepared by passes through the drawing machine to achieve the desired thickness before planchets were punched from the strip. A definite Condition Census coin. The finest examples listed on Stephen Herrman's listing in auctions and mail bid sales are: 55/55, 55/55 (this coin), 50/50, 50/50, 45/45. $7950 PCGS Cert. #39272.50/13875437
