<B>1795 50C Small Head VG10 PCGS.</B></I> O-128, High R.5. This Small Head variety is most easily attributed by the reverse, which is unique among 1795 halves. It has a 9-9 berry arrangement with two inside the wreath on the left, and two inside the wreath on the right.<BR> Both dies appear to be perfect with no cracks or other die defects. However, a tiny planchet crack (not a die crack) is located above the L in LIBERTY. There is also a shallow planchet lamination in the left obverse field out from stars 4 and 5. <BR> An attractive two-tone example with deep gray color in the fields and lighter tan devices. A few old scratches can be seen on each side, but they are entirely blended with the rest of the surfaces. <BR> Haseltine-24; Beistle 17-V; Overton-60; Hilt 23-X; PCGS #6054; <I>Encyclopedia</B></I>-4564.<BR><I>Ex: Henry Hilgard; Sheridan Downey (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>)
