***Auction Highlight*** 1805 o-109a R4 Draped Bust Half Dollar 50c Graded xf By USCG. Areas of apricot patina accent the steel grey surfaces throughout this lovely Choice example. The strike is weak at the lower obverse and upper reverse, as is always seen on this ultra rare variety, though remains nicely executed elsewhere with Liberty's profile impressively sharp. On the Reverse, A large crack now descends from the rim through N of UNITED, crossing the arrows and into the lower shield stripes. There is also a tiny crack that connects the tops of ITE, and this becomes a large retained cud in later die states. This piece ranks among the highest 3 examples for the variety, with the finest examples grading Choice AU. It is finer than the Jules Reiver specimen, which was graded VF-25 (NGC) in the January 2006 sale of that incredible collection. I wish you good luck in securing this ultra rare and highly sought coin. 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
