Description

1812 50C AU55 PCGS. O-109a, R.2. All die defects are bold on this late die state, the usual state found for O-109. However, both sides have narrow but complete border dentils, unlike the "little or no milling" comment in Overton. The reverse die has damage from an unknown accident at the mint, with raised defect lines around the left wing. Their source is unknown.
A choice AU example, the Frederick specimen exhibits light gray surfaces with considerable luster and hints of peripheral gold toning.
