<B>1812 50C MS66 NGC.</B></I> O-109a, R.2. The serif and curl of the 2 have square ends, and the inner point of star 10 shows a low, rounded bump in the field nearby. The reverse on this late die state shows numerous ridges, bumps, and lumps under and above the eagle's left (facing) wing, all of which are uncommonly bold on this example. The lustrous surfaces are beautifully preserved. Translucent cerise-gray patina is noted on the obverse, while the reverse offers golden shadings. The strike is crisp and bold, and even under a loupe, any flaws are difficult to spot. An attractive exemplar that would make an excellent addition to the dedicated numismatic cabinet. For non-overdate 1812 varieties, Census: 20 in 66, 0 finer (11/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> John Reich<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
