While Overton (third edition) writes that this crack extends: " ... about halfway across the neck," it is not evident on this VG10 example. No other cracks are apparent on either side.<BR> Light gray patination assumes a slightly deeper hue in some of the recesses. Well-centered design features exhibit a good amount of detail for the grade, though some minor weakness is noted along the right borders of both obverse and reverse. Close scrutiny with a loupe reveals no mentionable contact marks, though we note some light adjustment marks at the lower and right obverse border.<BR> Haseltine-18; Beistle 18a-P; Overton-47; Hilt 11-E; PCGS# 6052; Encyclopedia-4554.<BR><I>Ex: Michael Summers (2/2004).<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>)
