<B>1836<50C> Lettered Edge AU50 NGC.</B></I> O-112, R.1. This is one of the varieties that Al C. Overton called the "bar-dot 6," with an extra dot protruding to the right (facing) from the loop of the 6. The present example is memorably and vividly toned in concentric circles, with copper, bronze, and orange centers moving outward to aqua, with mint-green and lemon-yellow at the peripheries on both sides. There is a rectangular band of reddish-purple that moves down from beneath Liberty's ear to the area between the date and star 13. Radiant mint luster emanates from beneath this palette of colors. The strike is weak at the bustline and LURIB in the motto, and perusal with a glass reveals a nick and slight rub on Liberty's cheek, but these distractions do little to detract from this coin's phenomenal eye appeal. Envelope Included.
