16 star variety, Overton-102, late die state - Note: This issue has long been considered a "stopper" to anyone ambitious enough to attempt a full type set of U.S. coinage.The example being offered today has been recorded as serial number 237 in the late Jon Amato's published work on these small eagle halves.˜˜ - Provenance: Stack's, February 4-6, 1976, "Tennessee Collection", Lot 977, realized $4,500; A Virginia Collector
from Stack's when sold in 1976: "Fine, even wear. No doubt carried as a 'pocket piece' as the outer rims are flatter; a usual result of pocket wear. A pleasing example which should be of interest to all type and date collectors."from Brunk Auctions: coin has a cleaned appearance, NGC chose not to encapsulate citing "altered surface"
