<B>1795 50C 2 Leaves Fine 15 PCGS.</B></I> O-117 prime, R.4. Overton stated that the field was unfinished below the chin; however, it may be the case that the rough lines he examined are actually clash marks from the eagle's wing. See O-121 below for a similar appearance. This is an early die state without any evidence of the crack from 5 o'clock to the bust. Although this obverse die was only used for O-117, the reverse proved more hardy and was eventually paired with three other obverse dies. <BR>Deep gunmetal-gray in color, lighter on the major devices than in the fields. Minor marks are near star 3 and the nose; the reverse shows no relevant marks but the center exhibits greater wear than the remainder of the piece.<BR>Haseltine-11; Beistle 11-P; Overton-37; Hilt 10-E; PCGS# 6052; Encyclopedia-4553.<BR><I>Ex: Paul Padget (7/28/1981); Jules Reiver (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 22498.<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>)
