<B>1795 50C 2 Leaves Fine 12 PCGS.</B></I> O-105a, High R.3. Reverse C was used with three different obverse dies to coin O-103, 104, and 105. The emission sequence for these three dies is clearly O-104, 105, and 103. The reverse has die cracks through I of UNITED (unlisted in Overton), the first A of AMERICA (Overton says second A), and the C, although the crack through A is not readily visible due to wear or a weak strike. Apparently a large number of halves were struck from this die pair as numerous examples are known today.<BR> The surfaces show a few grade-consistent marks and light scratches, the most notable on Liberty's neck, two in the right obverse field, and a shallow scratch across the neck of the eagle. However, the visual effect is minimal, as both sides are covered with light gray patina that has contrasting pinkish-gray devices.<BR> Haseltine-8; Beistle 8-B; Overton-11; Hilt 17-O; PCGS #6052; <I>Encyclopedia</B></I>-4560.<BR><I>Ex: Dick Osburn (8/2006).<BR>From The Westmoreland County Collection of Early Bust Halves, Part Two.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
