1817, 7 over 3. Overton-101a, Rarity 2. NGC graded MS-62. Nice original golden toning with ample silver-gray on both sides. This is one of the most popular of the overdates and the engraver had a real challenge to change the final digit of a 3 into a 7. Needless to say all he could do was punch the 7 over the 3 and let it go at that. So the 3 is quite clear beneath the skinny 7! The strike on this one is rather soft on Libertys lower curls, but this is not uncommon for these early half dollars. Identifiable by a couple of shallow marks on Libertys neck below her ear. A sought-after overdate issue and one that is rarely found even approaching mint state. Pop 1; 1 finer in 65 at NGC for the variety. Estimated Value 6,000 - 6,500
