Description
1797 Draped Bust Half Dollar, Fine Details
Rare Early Type Issue, O-101
1797 50C O-101, T-1, R.5, Amato-330 -- Obverse Graffiti, Cleaned
-- NGC Details. Fine. This earlier die state shows three of the
die cracks on Reverse A that later develop into O-101a. Two of the
three are only vaguely discernible with strong magnification, the
third is readily visible. The first is extremely faint, connecting
the tops of ES in STATES with the top of the O in OF. The other is
seen at the top of the first T in STATES and travels only faintly
to the eagle's neck. The third is better developed and located at
the upper-right of the O in OF. Several pedigree identifiers are
listed on page 216 of the Amato reference, the most obvious being
the graffiti in the left field in the form of a vertical scratch
between stars 4 and 6, and a backward S in the lower-right obverse
field. The surfaces are light overall with slightly darker
peripheries. Detailing is stronger on the devices on the left part
of each side, weaker on the right, indicating the dies were
misaligned at the time of striking.Ex: Stanley Simon Collection (Stack's, 1/1989), lot 1004, where it brought $15,400.
