Lot 1366 - united states draped bust half dollars - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #841806. Pointed 6, stem through claw. NGC graded AU-55. The surfaces are generally untoned with a light silver appearance, and some golden-brown color over the reverse and obverse highpoints. The devices are well defined for the grade, apart from characteristic softness of strike in the center of the obverse, and there are no singularly distracting abrasions to report. This high grade example offers ample eye appeal and nice collector quality. Pop 4; 5 finer at NGC for the variety (PCGS # 6071) . Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.

Lot 1361 - united states draped bust half dollars - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #841796. 15 stars. Overton-101, Rarity 5. NGC graded EF-45. There were only two die pairings for 1796 half dollars; O-101 with 15 stars on the obverse, O-102 with 16 stars. Curiously, all 1796 and 1797 half dollars are thought to have actually been minted in 1797 as part of three deliveries. Mint records show that the first delivery was made on February 28, 1797 (60 coins), the second delivery on March 21 (874 coins), and the final one on May 26 (2,984 coins). Breen, in his Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins, makes the assumption that the February delivery contained those with 15 stars; while the coins minted in March included some 1796 with 15 stars and others with 16 stars (Later production in May consisted mostly of 1797-dated pieces but may have included the last of the 1796s with 16 stars). The 16 stars coins were said to be made after the admission of Tennessee to the Union on June 1, 1796. Tennessee became the 16th state, hence, 16 stars.
