Lot 1962
1803. 3 over 2. Miller-57, Breen 1-D, Rarity-2. . M-57. Sharpness of AU-55 but burnished and lightly repaired. The obverse has been burnished and repaired to remove a cigarette from Liberty's mouth, and small scratches can still be seen in that area and the entire coin is hairlined. A few copper spots are present, and this is the usual die state with a few scattered die cracks on each side. One of the most common of the early half eagles. A coin for the type collector who wants a lot of detail and doesn't mind the problems mentioned. Decent rims and reeding, and well struck.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
From the Robert W. Miller, Sr., collection.
