<B>1795 50C 2 Leaves VF20 PCGS.</B></I> O-104, R.4. The lowest curl is closed and nearly touches star 1 at two points. There is also a small die lump under star 15, both of which confirm this as an O-104. The reverse is from the same die as O-103 and 103a, but an earlier use. On this piece, the die crack is present that begins below the eagle's head and extends across the right (facing) wing and terminates in the eagle's tail feathers. Another crack is present through the C in AMERICA. Both cracks, described in Overton, are advanced beyond the usual state, perhaps calling for an O-104a die state.<BR> This pleasing coin has some interior details still visible on Liberty's hair curls as well as the feathers on the eagle's wings. A strong two-toned contrast is seen on each side with bright silvery color over the devices that extends into the fields, but contrasts sharply against the charcoal-gray peripheries. There are no mentionable abrasions on either side.<BR> Haseltine-26; Beistle 6-Bc; Overton-8; Hilt 18-O; PCGS #6052; <I>Encyclopedia</B></I>-4560.<BR><I>Ex: Alpine Numismatics (February 2004).<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>)
