Lot Description

Die State 107.1. Elegantly toned surfaces are awash in blended olive-gray, cobalt blue, antique gold and pinkish-rose iridescence. Boldly to sharply struck overall with a smooth, satiny complexion that would accept nothing less than a full Gem Mint State grade. This premium example is a newcomer to the census for the 1834 Overton-107 dies as published by Steve Herrman in the Autumn 2025 revision to his AMBPR for Bust half dollars, in which it would be tied for CC#1. The Generation 3.0 PCGS insert uses coin #6164, which is now reserved for the Large Date, Large Letters <em>Guide Book</em> variety of the 1834 half dollar.
