Description

1808 50C Genuine PCGS. O-106a, R.2. Obverse 6 has stars 5 and 6 closer than stars 6 and 7. Reverse F has the end of the scroll minutely left of center below the M. All other 1808 varieties have the scroll ending right of center below that letter.
This is an early stage of O-106a with the bisecting obverse die crack faint but visible. The top part of this crack through the E and B of LIBERTY, and on to the border at 11:30, is similar to that found on O-102a. No other cracks are seen on either side. In his notes, Don Frederick questions the existence of the perfect obverse state.
AU55 Details, Cleaned. The surfaces have a slightly polished appearance with a few tiny dents on the obverse. However, the subtle iridescent toning improves its overall eye appeal.
From The Donald R. Frederick Collection of Early U.S. Coinage: Bayside Part II.
