<B>1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem AU58 PCGS.</B></I> O-115a, R.2. A textbook example of this later die state with heavy die cracks on the left side of the obverse, and a definite crack at the top of STATES. The crack down to UNITED has not been seen, even though it is mentioned in the Overton reference. <BR> A significant amount of mint luster underlies the rich toning that covers each side. The central portions are gray-rose, while the margins are deep blue. A bit softly struck in the usual places, as one would expect from this much-used die pairing. Close to Condition Census quality, this piece has eye appeal that transcends that of many pieces that are technically graded Mint State.<BR> Haseltine-15, Beistle 3b-Ea, Overton-30, PCGS # 39318, Encyclopedia-4591.<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>)
