1794 Half Dollar, Fine 15
Rare O-107 Die Pairing
Ex: Jules Reiver

1794 50C O-107, T-5, R.6, Fine 15 NGC. Ex: Jules Reiver Collection. Although rated R.5 by Donald Parsley, this variety is now considered rarer than previously believed. The present coin is in an early die state; we do not find any evidence of the reverse die crack described by Overton, from the edge to a pair of leaves below the first S. The surfaces have warm, natural mauve-gray color, and the coin is well struck, except for the left obverse denticles. There are numerous short, hardly detectable adjustment marks about the obverse border. A few wispy pin scratches are evident on the obverse, and two or three minor indentations are seen on the reverse. Possibly a Condition Census example of this rare variety. The finest listed in Overton's Census is VF25, although we recently offered an XF45 example in our April 2017 Central States Signature sale, which realized $42,300.
