1806/5 Draped Bust Half Dollar. . Overton-101, 5 Berries. NGC graded AU-58. Some luster present. Lovely russett and electric blue perhieral toning. A hard to believe array of rich golden brown hues enhance the surfaces of this handsome overdate draped bust half dollar. A small region of striking weakness that is often found on these at the centers is absent here; the eagle's neck feathers show entirely, as do the lines of the shield (the "chief" or horizontal bands as well as the vertical stripes representing the 13 original states (alternating bands and blank areas of the shield). All in all the present prize is very beautiful.
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.
