<B>1807 50C Draped Bust MS62 PCGS.</B></I> O-102, R.2. The 102 is the second use of Obverse 2 (first seen on O-101) and first use of Reverse A (used again on O-103). This is an earlier die state that shows only a small lump at the top of the 8 in the date, and just the faintest trace of the die crack from the top of Liberty's head. <BR> This is a surprisingly lustrous coin with a rich overlay of rust-gray toning, the color balanced well from side to side. The obverse shows softness on the hair curls of Liberty and slight weakness on the obverse stars. The reverse, on the other hand, has a remarkably strong strike with complete feather details on the eagle's breast. A few die clash marks are seen, these representing the most obvious ripple in the fabric of the surface of the coin. <BR> A lower Condition Census coin. The finest pieces listed by Stephen Herrman listed as: 65/65, 64,64, 63/63 (2), 62/62. This is that MS62 coin. <BR>Haseltine-2; Beistle 1-A; Overton-3, 4; PCGS# 39339; Encyclopedia-4573.<BR><I>Ex: Atlanta Auction (Heritage, 4/2006), lot 669, where it brought $10,925.<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>)
