Description

1803 Draped Bust Half, Small 3, O-104, MS62
Vivid Multicolor Toning

1803 50C Small 3, Large Reverse Stars, O-104, R.3, MS62 NGC. Overton-104 is the only one of the four 1803 half dollar varieties featuring the small 3 in the date. Not surprisingly, then, this is the only use of this obverse, though the reverse die was previously employed for O-103. This Small 3 variant is also one of the scarcer varieties of the issue; only three Mint State examples have been certified by the two leading services, with this piece being second only to a single MS64 coin at PCGS (9/14).

As a date, the 1803 half dollar is moderately plentiful in comparison to early issues of the same type, but is not nearly as available as the 1806 and 1807. Mint State examples are rare in all grades, with none having been certified finer than MS64. This representative is by far one of the most attractive examples obtainable. Vivid toning in shades of green-gold, royal blue, violet, and orange-gold encompass each side, while the surfaces are free of major flaws, and the strike is above-average for the issue. Moderate clash marks are seen on each side, though no adjustment marks are observed. The specialist will find it nearly impossible to locate a visually finer example.
