1803 Large 3 Draped Bust Half Dollar (50c)

The 1803 Draped Bust Half Dollar had a modest mintage of just 188,234 pieces, so examples that survived the rigors of circulation in quality XF condition like this one are genuinely scarce.

This PCGS XF40 displays excellent eye appeal with smooth, problem-free surfaces and attractive natural toning throughout. The wear is perfectly even and consistent with the grade, showing nice detail retention in Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. The coin has clearly avoided any harsh cleaning or environmental damage, presenting with the kind of original skin that makes early half dollars so appealing. A solid, honest example that would fit beautifully in any early type set.
