Hall of Fame Collection Half Dollars

BEAUTIFUL 1809 O-105 WITH BLUNDERED EDGE LETTERING

LOT 212 1808 Overton-104 R2 AU50. Lustrous light steel with subtle overtones of bluish steel and champagne. Nicely toned and very attractive with very light friction on the devices. A faint diagonal hairline scratch that passes just below the earlobe is the only notable mark, and it is invisible to the unaided eye. Sharply struck with great eye appeal.

LOT 215 1809 Overton-105 R2 AU55. Lustrous with beautiful light bluish steel toning and just a hint of friction on the highpoints. Later die state showing clear die cracks on both. The edge lettering is blundered; apparently run through the Castaing machine two times. A beautiful Turban Head Half Dollar.
