<B>1805 50C VF20 PCGS.</B></I> O-113b, High R.4. Probably R.7 as a die state. Even though the "non-a" O-113 does not exist, there is still considerable collectibility within this variety through examination of die states. Most of the known examples show a die crack through the tops of MERI. However, on this rare late die state piece, there is a heavy crack through AMERI that is beginning to form a retained cud.<BR> A delightful example for the grade with medium gray color in the fields and lighter silver-gray on the devices. Both sides have pale blue toning near the borders. Scattered surface marks are consistent with the grade.<BR> Extremely rare with this retained cud, only two pieces have been recorded at public auction: the Benson, Part 2 coin, graded 45/45, and the Heritage Internet 67013 coin, graded 08/08. <BR> Haseltine-12; Beistle 5c-H; Overton-23; PCGS #39287; <I>Encyclopedia</B></I>-4578.<BR><I>Ex: Michael Summers (7/2005).<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>)
