Description

1826 50C AU53 PCGS. O-119, Low R.4. The date is widely spaced with the 18 low and the 26 high (farther from the border). The reverse is the same die used for O-113.
The two reverse die cracks described in Overton are both prominent on this example. The reverse is a later state than during its use for O-113.
A few faint scratches are visible on the obverse of this deep heather toned specimen. Both sides have faint gold and blue toning accents. Most design elements are sharp, although a few stars are flat, and the left wing is weak. While shy of the Condition Census, this attractive piece will prove a nice addition to any advanced collection.
