<B>1803 50C Small 3--Improperly Cleaned, Obverse Damage--NCS. AU Details. </B></I> O-104, R.3. The majority of 1803 halves are of the Large 3 variant, which is represented by three separate Overton varieties. Only one Small 3 variety is known. <BR> This example represents the usual die state with a light crack through the T of LIBERTY and a crack from the border through the first S to the clouds below TATE, up to the final S, and back to the border.<BR> Pleasing light silver surfaces exhibit lilac and green toning on the obverse, with green and gold on the reverse. A few faint scratches and other minor imperfections are typical for the grade. A defect arc across the center of the obverse may represent double striking, despite the PCGS description of "damage or tooling." This defect arc has the appearance of an arc of dentils, and is sometimes given the name "dentil tracks."<BR> Haseltine-4; Beistle 1-A; Overton-7; PCGS #6067; <I>Encyclopedia</B></I>-4572.<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>)
