<B>1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem AU58 PCGS.</B></I> O-120a, R.4. Known as the Broken Shield variety, the present example is an early die state with only the beginning of the die break between vertical stripes 4 and 5, just below the bottom crossbar. The O-120 reverse is one of those few numismatic situations where virtually every surviving coin could be considered a slightly different die state. On this example, the break joins stripes 4 and 5, and crosses each pale of stripe 4, but does not encroach on stripe 5. While usually collected for its reverse die states, the obverse also exists in several important stages.<BR> The surfaces of this near-Mint specimen are highly lustrous and fully brilliant with a trace of champagne toning. The actual design elements on each side are boldly defined within the context of the design type. Several attractive examples of the variety are known, including Mint State pieces. We believe this coin ranks in the top dozen specimens known.<BR><I>Ex: Jonathan Kern (1998).<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>)
