<B>1795 50C 2 Leaves AU58 PCGS.</B></I> O-117a, R.4. Most easily identifiable by the "defect line" between the right arm and base of the Y in LIBERTY. Overton also stated that the field was unfinished below the chin, the appearance due to heavy clash marks. The reverse has 9 berries left and 8 right, and this is the only such division with four berries under the left (right facing) wing. Also, the CA in AMERICA is recut, and the lower leaf is connected to the last A. Some clash marks are visible on the upper obverse.<BR> Silver-gray surfaces display whispers of olive-green, sky-blue, and mauve. The design features are well impressed, as evidenced by sharp definition on Liberty's hair and the eagle's plumage, and the dentils are quite strong on both sides. A few light marks do not disturb. <BR> Haseltine-11; Beistle 11a-P; Overton-40; Hilt 10-E; PCGS# 6052, 39234; Encyclopedia-4553.<BR><I>Ex: 2007 FUN Auction (Heritage, 1/2007), lot 952.<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>)
