<B>1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem AU58 PCGS.</B></I> O-125a, R.5. The obverse of O-125 has an elongated border segment between star 7 and L. This obverse was also used for O-109, suggesting the two varieties were coined at about the same time. In fact, O-125 was actually struck before O-109. The reverse has a die crack between O and F, with small die chips joining the crack and right side of the O. Most of the other cracks for O-125a are present.<BR> This stunning near-Mint half dollar has fully prooflike fields on both sides, somewhat subdued by intense sea-green and violet-brown toning on both sides.<BR> This is apparently the finest known example of the O-125 die marriage, regardless of die state. An AU50 and an XF45 are the second and third finest that we know of.<BR> PCGS # 6071, Encyclopedia-4591.<BR><I>Ex: Stack's (3/1998), lot 498.<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>)
