<B>1795 50C 2 Leaves XF40 NGC.</B></I> O-110, R.3. Overton-110 is the most plentiful die marriage of the year. When confronted with a new 1795 half, specialists often look for the trio of die lines above star 2, diagnostic of the O-110 marriage. The E in LIBERTY is recut, as is the base of star 5.<BR> The dies appear free from cracks, but both fields are notably clashed. A partial outline of the right wing is seen in the field near Liberty's chin, and the lower inner curve of the bow is clashed above the head. The reverse is clashed above the eagle's head and beneath the eagle's right wing. There is no mention of the clash marks in the Overton reference, although the more prominent among them are visible on his O-110a plate coin.<BR> This splendidly detailed Flowing Hair type coin offers iridescent rose and aqua obverse toning, with light blue-gray reverse patina. Both sides are refreshingly unabraded, although minor rim nicks are noted at 5 o'clock on the obverse and 4:30 on the reverse. A few parallel adjustment marks, as made, are confined to the date and left obverse border.<BR> Haseltine-3; Beistle 3-G; Overton-24; Hilt 22-Z; PCGS #6052; <I>Encyclopedia</B></I>-4561.<BR><I>Ex: Harry Laibstain (11/1999).<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>)
