<B>1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem MS62 PCGS.</B></I> O-123, Low R.5. This obverse is recognized by the 1 and 6 attached to the bust, used also for O-124, O-128, and the newly discovered O-130. This is the only 1806 obverse that has both digits clearly touching the curl and drapery. At Low R.5., O-123 is the most common of the four die marriages, and the only one known to Al Overton when he published his first reference.<BR> The lower obverse and upper reverse are noticeably blunt, with most of the remaining design details sharp. This attractive Mint State example has frosty silver luster beneath a thin veil of ivory and gold toning.<BR> This example is similarly graded to the Queller coin, recorded by Herrman as finest known, but it is apparently not the same coin. We suggest that it is tied for finest, and the two pieces are the only Mint State examples known.<BR> Haseltine-14, Overton-41, PCGS # 6071, Encyclopedia-4591.<BR><I>Ex: Alpine Numismatics (9/2003).<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>)
