<B>1795 50C 2 Leaves Fine 15 NGC.</B></I> O-115, R.5. Leaf merged with left base of final A. Only one other reverse, that of O-130 is similar, but the position of the leaves below the final A of AMERICA will distinguish between these two varieties. The elusive Overton-115 has an 8x8 berry alignment and a leaf directly under the second T in STATES. A die crack connects the tops of MERICA, and three cracks accompany the left obverse stars. No evidence of the die crack through LIBERTY suggests that this is an earlier strike. The dark gray fields reveal deep apple-green colors when rotated beneath a light. A scratch and brighter hairlines across the cheek, old scratches across the eagle, and a tiny reverse rim ding at 3 o'clock provide the sole detractions. A small lamination is on the base of the C in AMERICA.<BR><I>Ex: M.B.
