<B>1805 50C AU53 PCGS.</B></I> O-108, High R.4. This obverse was used to strike two die marriages in 1805, the O-108 and O-109. This is the second of four pairings for Reverse B.<BR> The obverse has faint cracks that join stars 1, 2, and 3, and also stars 11, 12, and 13. The reverse has a crack from the border to the left serif of U in UNITED, another at the tops of TES, and a third from the right wing tip to the tops of AME.<BR> A short arc of impressed dentils is visible by the lowest hair curl, and it is this "dentil track" that suggests that this piece may be double struck. The piece has pleasing silver-gray color with peripheral gold and iridescent toning, especially on the obverse. Perhaps fifth finest known of this scarce variety. <BR> Haseltine-6; Beistle 4-B; Overton-15; PCGS# 39281; Encyclopedia-4579.<BR><I>From The Westmoreland County Collection of Early Bust Halves, 1794-1807.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Robert Scot<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
