<B>1795 50C 2 Leaves VG8 PCGS.</B></I> O-121a, R.5. A heavy vertical die crack from the rim between 95 to the base of the bust affirms this later die state. Overton's third edition indicates that: "Some specimens also show a fine crack below 1 and the first star." This particular example exhibits no evidence of such a crack.<BR> Battleship-gray patina imbued with tinges of light blue covers both sides, with hints of gold undertones showing through, particularly on the reverse. All of the design features are present, though the outer parts of the stars in the lower right obverse quadrant are worn smooth. The Liberty and eagle motifs display a modicum of internal detail, and about one-half of the dentils are visible on each side. None of the minute marks scattered about are worthy of individual mention.<BR> Haseltine-18; Beistle 18a-P; Overton-47; Hilt 11-E; PCGS #6052<I>; Encyclopedia</B></I>-4554.<BR><I>Ex: Alpine Numismatics (9/2006).<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>)
