Description

1811 50C Small 8 Genuine PCGS. O-105a, R.2. This is the first Small 8 variety listed in Overton, and the Small 8 style continued through the end of the 1811 series with O-113. However, Overton numbers have no relationship to the actual emission sequence. Research indicates that O-105 and O-107 were actually the last two 1811 die varieties actually struck. The reverse has several die cracks as Overton describes for O-105a.
XF45 Details, Cleaned. Although obvious light cleaning lines are visible, this example has considerable eye appeal. The surfaces are pewter-gray, with some deeper steel toning amidst the peripheral devices. Traces of gold and iridescent toning add to its appearance.
