Description

1826 50C AU53 PCGS. O-108a, R.1. Several cracks are noted on this late die state. The obverse is cracked through stars 2 to 7, and to the cap and border. Another crack begins at star 1 and crosses the drapery. Either that crack or a new crack continues from the bottom of the drapery to the top of the date and curves up toward the lowest curl. A further crack from star 10 crosses star 11 to the lowest curl. The reverse has a crack from the border to UNITE, the top of the scroll, and on to S OF. It does not continue to AM as noted in Overton. Hints of champagne toning grace the lustrous silver surfaces on each side of this splendid specimen.
