1822 50C AU50 PCGS. O-103a, low R.5. This rare variet
<B>1822 50C AU50 PCGS.</B></I> O-103a, low R.5. This rare variety is confirmed by the following diagnostics: recutting at three lower points of star 10, the right side of the I in PLURIBUS in line with the right side of the second t in STATES, and a large center dot between crossbars 4 and 5 on the shield. A crack from the edge through upper points of star 6 to the bridge of the nose, and another joining the top date digits left to the drapery confirm the later die state. Light gray surfaces display yellow-green and lilac accents, the latter being most noticeable on the reverse, and retain traces of luster in the protected areas. Strong definition is noted on the design elements, save for typical softness on some of the star centers. A hair-thin mark is noted in the left obverse. Overall, a very sharp Bust half. Kraft envelope inscribed "1822, 50c, 13.00, 16, die crack" included.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
