<B>1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem MS63 NGC.</B></I> O-121, R.4. The obverse was used for all of the varieties from O-118 to O-122, and O-126, and the reverse was used for O-117 and O-121. The obverse die is shattered, and was probably not capable of striking many more coins. The reverse of this piece has a reflective field, and appears to be perfect, without any die cracks.<BR> A lovely Mint State piece with full satin luster on both sides. The reverse is especially desirable with prooflike fields. Exceptional gold and iridescent toning adds to the eye appeal of this piece.<BR> Stephen Herrman records a single MS60 coins as possibly the finest O-121 known. Overton's Census is 55-45-40-40-40. This solid Mint State piece apparently far outdistances any others that are currently known.<BR> Haseltine-15A, Beistle 4-Ga, Overton-40, PCGS # 6071, Encyclopedia-4591.<BR><I>Ex: Harry Laibstain (1/2000).<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>)
