Description

Desirable 1803/2 Half Eagle

1803/2 $5 AU 50 Obverse Scratches, Lightly Cleaned. B. 1-C, Miller-56, R.4. This is a fairly attractive coin despite glossy undertones. Pleasing copper-orange patina adheres to both sides, and the strike is well centered and sufficiently bold for the type. Several adjustment marks (as produced) are noted over the lower reverse portrait, and there are a few pinscratches on the obverse over the front of Liberty's bust and the final star. Among the more common early half eagles, this coin seems destined for inclusion in a circulated type set.
