<B>1829 50C Small Letters SP63 NGC.</B></I> O-111, R.2. On this variety, the 9 in the date is recut at the right, the lips are parted to half the depth of the mouth, the stars are drawn to the edge, and the A's in AMERICA are filled at the top. This marvelous SP63 example displays heavily frosted motifs that stand in bold contrast to fully mirrored fields. The only exceptions to these mirrors are bulges of mint frost under Liberty's chin, around the ribbon under the cap, and between the eagle's head and wing. Heavy die polish lines are visible in the fields on both sides, especially noticeable on the reverse. Essentially untoned surfaces reveal some minor hairlines, and a minute mark over the cap and another on the left side of the bust and adjacent field identify the coin. This piece exhibits unbelievable eye appeal, and will draw keen interest from connoisseurs of Bust halves.<BR><I>Ex: George H. Earle (Henry Chapman, 6/1912), lot 2936; J.M. Clapp; John H.
