<B>1795 50C Small Head VG10 PCGS.</B></I> O-127a-b, High R.6. The obverse is shattered like other later state pieces, and the upper die crack of the two parallel cracks in the right obverse field is faint. Thus, the right obverse field is not as noticeably raised as on some later state pieces. There is no evidence of the reverse crack at the lower left, but this may only be absent due to wear and surfaces. For the collector of die states, this and the other a-b coin offer an unprecedented opportunity to acquire the latest states of this obverse die. Seen here, the parallel obverse cracks are nowhere near as advanced as on the Fine 12 piece. <BR> A pleasing two-toned example with dark gray fields and light silver devices. Minor abrasions and scratches are evident on each side, but these are mostly consistent with the grade. <BR> Haseltine-19; Beistle 19a-Gb; Overton-59; Hilt 25-Z; PCGS #6054; <I>Encyclopedia</B></I>-4564.<BR><I>Ex: Baltimore Auction (Bowers and Merena, 11/2006), lot 3203.<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>)
