This is a single-use obverse and reverse die pairing. With no obvious die cracks on either side, it makes one wonder why the die pairing was retired. It may well be that this was the final die variety of the year. As with the other O-128s in the Westmoreland Collection, this is a Condition Census example. For the die state, it is unquestionably one of the finest, if not <I>the</B></I> finest known.<BR> Pleasing blue-gray surfaces with rose highlights on the devices. Short but prominent adjustment marks are noticed at the left obverse border to the stars, and the opposing point of the reverse is weak with the tops of ED nearly absent. <BR> Haseltine-24; Beistle 17-V; Overton-60; Hilt 23-X; PCGS #6054; <I>Encyclopedia</B></I>-4564.<BR><I>Ex: Michael Summers (8/2006).<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>)
