<B>1794 50C VF20 ICG.</B></I> O-104a, R.5. This piece represents an intermediate die state between O-104 and O-104a. The obverse appears perfect with no evidence of the die crack that appears on O-104a, or any other die defects. The reverse has a small rim break over ER of AMERICA, but it does not touch either letter.<BR> Both sides have light to medium gray surfaces with lighter silver color on the devices, and deeper gray near the borders. A few faint surface grazes and hairlines are visible, mostly on the obverse, along with the usual minor handling marks that are expected at this grade level.<BR> Probably fourth or fifth finest known among all states of the O-104 die combination. The Overton Census shows two AU50 coins and one XF40, followed by a couple pieces that grade just Fine 15. This piece is equal to fifth best in Steve Herrman's auction survey, although at least two of the finer pieces have serious imperfections.<BR> Haseltine-2; Beistle 2-Ca; Overton-7; Hilt 1-B; PCGS# 6051, 39205; Encyclopedia-4552.<BR><I>Ex: Robert Zornes.<BR>From The Westmoreland County Collection of Early Bust Halves, 1794-1807.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Robert Scot<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
