Description

Conditionally Scarce 1803 Half Dollar, AU50, O-103

1803 50C Large 3 AU50 NGC. O-103, R.3. This is the final use of the Large 3 obverse die. The reverse has 13 arrows and star 12 is attached to the front of the eagle's beak. Light clash marks are visible between the bust and date, and elsewhere on the obverse.
Pleasing, deep rose-gray toning over both sides yields to occasional areas of forest-green, gold, and amber iridescence, especially near the borders. The design elements are well struck and well centered on the planchet. A shallow pinscratch extends upward from between 8 and 0 in the date, onto Liberty's bust and close to the hair; a shorter pinscratch travels from the lower left point of obverse star 5 diagonally down into the adjacent field area. The only other surface blemishes are a few tiny, scattered contact marks; and highpoint wear is not excessive for the grade.
