Description

1808 50C AU55 PCGS. O-103, R.1. The recut star 9 quickly identifies Obverse 3. The Overton diagnostic is the missing left base of 1, unreliable as O-108 is also missing the left base, and most other 1808 obverse dies have a broken or patched left base to the 1. Reverse C has the bases of A and M solidly joined, the only instance in 1808 although some others are extremely close.
An early die state exhibiting sharp design details. The obverse die is perfect. The reverse has a single die crack from the border over NI to the tops of TED, returning to the border over ST.
Lustrous light silver-gray surfaces on this Choice AU example have considerable delicate gold and blue toning, with traces of wear appearing as pewter gray color.
