Condition Census 1795 O-112 Half Dollar Popular Recut Date Variety 1795/1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-112, T-20. Rarity-4. Recut Date, Two Leaves. AU-55+ (NGC). This is a gorgeous example of both the issue and type, its desirability further enhanced by the dramatic Recut Date attribution. Near-fully defined, and more so than typically seen even in Choice AU survivors of this type, both sides are expertly struck within boldly and uniformly denticulated borders. Ample satin luster remains, the surfaces overall smooth in hand. The entire package is dressed in rich steel gray patina that, at direct lighting angles, yields to more vivid undertones of reddish-gold, olive, and powder blue iridescence. A lovely example eagerly awaiting inclusion in an advanced cabinet. Overton-112 is one of the two Recut Date varieties of the perennially popular 1795 Flowing Hair half dollar, the date sharply repunched low with the underdigits touching or extremely lose to the denticles. Unlike O-113, which is mated with a Three Leaves reverse die, O-112 exhibits only two leaves on the inside of the wreath below both of the eagle's wings. Apart from the incredible Gem from the Lord St. Oswald Collection, the finest examples of this die marriage are a handful of AUs. The present example is ranked CC#3 in the Spring 2018 revision to Stephen J. Herrman's Auction & Mail Bid Prices Realized for Bust Half Dollars: 1794-1839. Provenance: From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier from Heritage's CSNS Signature & Platinum Night Auction of April 2011, lot 5137. Collector envelope with attribution notation included. PCGS# 39246. NGC ID: 24E7. Click here for certification details from NGC.
