Lot 524
1817, 7 over 3. Overton-101a, Rarity 2. NGC graded AU-53. Light even gray toning. A high-grade example of this illustrious (and very impressive) 7 over 3 overdate. No longer offered as often as it once was. An earlier-dated 1813 obverse die was taken off the shelf and repunched with a 7 for coinage this year. In most other cases seen, an overdate has the digit punched over the previous year's date. Minor weakness in the haircurls and clasp, as is often the case, but the eagle is sharper by far than the usual weak impression. Very attractive. Pop 1; 7 finer for the variety, 1 in 55, 3 in 58, 2 in 62, 1 in 65.
Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700.
Ex Jules Reiver Collection.
