<Our item number 101887><B>1803/2 $5 Capped Bust. NGC graded MS-61 M-55, R-5.</B> 1803 half eagles are similar to those of 1802 in that all known varieties are overdates. In this case, 1803/2, there are two reported overdated obverse dies. Until very recently, the second obverse remained unrecognized as a second die, and was simply considered a late die state of the first die. Breen's obverse 1, as displayed here, has the right base of T broken. The new die has a perfect T in LIBERTY. The variety described as Breen 1-A does not exist. This example is Breen's variety 1-B, which he considered rare. Very lightly abraded surfaces with delightful greenish yellow "old gold" luster. No obvious adjustment marks are visible on this choice coin. 33,506 coins minted. <B>Pop 46; 98 finer.</B> <BR>Estimated Value $10,000-11,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 101887<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//101887.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/live auction/37jpegs//101887N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
