This is the same overdate variety as HBCC-3111, however, in a later die state. The bisecting obverse die crack is much heavier on this example, and other obverse die cracks are more advanced. This choice Mint-State example most certainly qualifies as one of the finest known of this die marriage and may be the outright leader. Harry Bass acquired this outstanding half eagle from the October, 1994, sale of the James Stack Collection.

Provenance:
From Stack's sale of the James A. Stack, Sr. Collection, October 1994, Lot 1052.
