Description
Rare Overton Variety, 1806 Knobbed 6 Half
No Stem, O-108, R.7, Fine Details
1806 50C Knobbed 6, No Stem--Scratched, Improperly Cleaned--NCS.
Fine Details. O-108, R.7. A late die state of this rare
variety, with a thick die break on the left reverse rim from the
right serif of U to the right serif of E in UNITED. According to
Overton: "One of the most famous and one of the rarest 1806 half
dollar varieties is the O.108. This coin was first attributed in
1951 by Walter Breen. Since its discovery only four known specimens
have been found. It is easily recognized since it is the only
knobbed top six obverse with reverse having no stem through claw."
This example has several deep scratches on each side, and a couple
of granular planchet streaks are noted in the lower left obverse
field. The piece is deeply toned and shows some wispy hairlines
from improper cleaning.From the Bayside New York Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
