<B>1806/5 50C Fine 15 PCGS.</B></I> O-104a, R.4. This is an early-intermediate state of the 104 dies as each side began to crack. Later states show noticeable cracking below the end of Liberty's bust, absent here. The diagnostic cracks through stars 11, 12, and 13 are present on the obverse, and on the reverse the partial cud is seen over U with a rim crack from the middle of N.<BR> This is a pleasing coin for the grade with deep gray color in the fields and sharply contrasting pale rose patina over the devices. There are no mentionable abrasions on either side.<BR> Slightly scarcer than the early die state, at least five finer coins are known of the GÇÿa' die state, but none have been recorded recently at public auction better than 40/40.<BR><I>Unknown provenance.<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>)
