<B>1811 50C Small 8 MS66 NGC.</B></I> O-109, R.2. An uncommonly fine example of this generally available variety, instantly recognizable upon examining the reverse, which is biplanar due to the heavy die crack from the eagle's left (facing) wing that runs through the scroll to the left of the P in PLURIBUS and the first S in STATES. Another radial die crack runs through the left-side olive leaves, the bottoms of UNIT, and the middle of ED, meeting the first crack at S1. yet another traverses S OF AMERICA and the arrowheads. There is a sharp defect in Liberty's upper lip. A tiny center obverse dot shows on Liberty's neck.<BR> This charming Premium Gem boasts arm's-length enormous eye appeal, with hues of heather and lilac accenting the light dove-gray patina. Gorgeous luster radiates from beneath the pleasing ensemble, and the strike is well executed, although the dies are lightly eroded on each side. According to a recent edition of <I>Auction & Mail Bid Prices Realized for Bust Half Dollars,</B></I> this piece is likely close to the top of the certified Condition Census for the variety, although we cannot ascertain whether it is the absolute finest. An appealing and elegant coin.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
