Description

1812/1 50C Large 8 Genuine PCGS. O-101a, Low R.5. Ex: Witham. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of a VF specimen that has been cleaned. Both sides display parallel fine hairlines and subsequent lilac-gray and olive-green toning. A couple of thin marks are noted beneath the left scroll end. O-101a is a rare Overton marriage, but its importance is magnified by its status as the sole die pairing of the Large 8 1812/1 overdate. The downstroke and serif of the underdigit 1 is evident, as is the N over inverted N feature in UNITED.
