<B>1806 50C Knobbed 6, Large Stars VG8 NCS.</B></I> O-105a, R.2. But probably R.8 in this late die state. While labeled on the NCS insert as O-105a, this piece is best described as O-105 ‘b' and is unlisted as such in Overton. However, Overton does state under O-105a, "This crack at the top of LIB eventually becomes a cud." The obverse has a full rim break joining the tops of LIB, and it is apparently unique in this die state.<BR> Pewter-gray fields frame the lighter silver devices on this piece. The obverse has heavy scratches in the field to the right of Liberty. Otherwise, there are no imperfections aside from the usual handling marks that are consistent with the grade.<BR> The rare die state handily trumps the problems on this remarkable piece.<BR> Haseltine-11; Beistle 12-T; Overton-11; PCGS# 39305; Encyclopedia-4585.<BR> <I>Ex: Michael Summers.<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>)
