<B>1806/5 50C AU53 NGC.</B></I> O-103, R.2. Third and final use of Obverse 1, and here paired with a single-occurrence reverse die, Reverse C. After three die pairings, the obverse shows just the slightest trace of the die crack from star 1 to the lower curls. Only the bottom of the distinctive horizontal 0 within the date is visible with the top lost in a confusion of die clash marks. Reverse C is attributable by the missing right base of the F in OF, and a die lump under the right side of the R in AMERICA. <BR> Each side has even rose colored toning with a strong silver undertone and a trace of deeper blue around the margins. As expected, there is only a trace of milling on the obverse and little definition on the stars on that side.<BR> This piece is just outside the Condition Census for the variety, with several Uncirculated pieces known.<I><BR> </B></I>Haseltine-5, Beistle 10-R, Overton-5, PCGS# 6077, Encyclopedia-4583.<BR><I>Ex: Sheridan Downey, privately(8/1998).<BR>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>)
