<B>1807 50C Draped Bust MS63 NGC.</B></I> O-106, R.3. Both sides show numerous die cracks. On the obverse, one crack runs through the lower parts of the digits of the date, while another laces through the left stars. On the reverse, a crack extends from the U in UNITED across the eagle's tailfeathers and through all but the first two letters of AMERICA. These die cracks are diagnostic.<BR> In the most recent edition of the Overton half dollar reference, the best grade for an O-106 listed in that work's condition census is 55, which establishes the present MS63 piece as one of the most important examples for the die variety. Soft, swirling luster shimmers beneath delicate gold-orange and silver-gray shadings. A trifle weak in the centers, yet well-defined elsewhere with no trace of wear and surprisingly few marks. For all Draped Bust varieties, Census: 11 in 63, 26 finer (1/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Robert Scot<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
