<B>1795 50C 2 Leaves A over E Fine 12 PCGS.</B></I> O-113a, R.3. The large lump of extra metal between the 5 in the date and the 15th star is described by Don Parsley as "a rough broken patch" in Overton's third edition, while in his first edition Overton says: "A short die break from milling between 5 and star 15 upward does not touch bust." The reverse displays 9 berries to the left and 9 more to the right. The word STATES was first entered as STETES, with an A later repunched over the first E; remnants of that partially effaced E are obvious without magnification. <BR> A pleasingly smooth and abrasion-free appearance is presented on each side of this light to charcoal-gray example that seems entirely natural. Russet and sea-green patina enhances the peripheries. A couple of superficial hairlines extend from very near the periphery between obverse stars 9 and 10 to a point just shy of Liberty's nose, above the eye. A tiny rim flaw is noted near 9 o'clock on the reverse, and a moderate abrasion is seen on the upper reaches of the same side; it severs the uppermost left leaf from its stem. <BR> Haseltine-5; Beistle 5-I; Overton-30; Hilt 15-Q; PCGS #6052; <I>Encyclopedia</B></I>-4559.<BR><I>Ex: Sheridan Downey (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>)
