Description
1803 Half Dollar, MS61
O-101, Large 3
Condition Census
1803 50C Large 3, Small Reverse Stars, 12 Arrows, O-101, T-1,
R.3, MS61 NGC. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Tompkins Die State 2/2,
with a crack across the top of LIBERTY and raised die lumps between
ERICA down to the eagle's tail. This lovely Mint State piece is a
Condition Census example of this popular issue. Both sides have
light silver luster at the centers with bands of gold and sea-green
toning. The strike is a trifle weak in places, and the cheek and
neck show minor slide marks.The 1803 is vastly underrated in Mint State. Type collectors may have their pick of uncirculated coins dated 1806 and 1807. The date collector must look long and hard to find one dated 1803. Following the limited mintage of half dollars in 1801 and 1802, production increased to 188,234 coins in 1803, with that production distributed among four die marriages. All four varieties are approximately equal in rarity, and three of the four are from a single obverse die with a Large 3. Census: 3 in 61, 1 finer (6/20).
