***Auction Highlight*** 1805/4 O-101 Draped Bust Half Dollar 50c Graded au55 details By SEGS. Tompkins Die State 1/2. The obverse die was used to strike both the O-101 and O-102 1805 varieties, while the reverse die was retired after striking the O-101 coins. Popular for its clear under digit 4 beneath the 5 in the date, this example is in from an early die stage with just the beginnings of a die crack above RI in AMERICA. In later stages, a large, full cud develops over RIC and ends the useful life of the die.Attractive blue and amber-gold toning frames both sides of this About Uncirculated example, which suggests long storage in a coin album or coin board. Golden-gray shades cover the interior elements. Silver luster shines through protected areas at the margins and within the recesses of the central devices. Light abrasions account for the details grade and high-point wear are grade-consistent, and do not diminish the substantial eye appeal of this Choice 1805/4 in any way. I included another au55 for your comparison. I think you will agree, details or not ours is far superior in eye appeal and lack of wear for an au55. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
