Ex Link Collection, as noted on the insert. Tied for the second finest known of this popular engraving blunder. Exceptionally pleasing and a borderline GEM. Another really interesting engraving blunder in the series. The die sinker began spelling out UNITED at the bottom of the reverse, where the denomination should be. After sinking UNI, he realized his mistake and simply punched the 50 C. over the errant letters. An intense luster glows on the smooth, defect free surfaces swirling and around the sharply struck devices. A warm, satiny sheen accents the rich toning, which features lovely shades of lilac-gray, golden-tan, olive, and subtle cobalt iridescent toning that rings both sides. Boldly struck from clashed dies, all the details are essentially razor sharp in definition and they stand out against the generally clean fields. Most of the microscopic marks that do appear with a strong glass are actually imparted from the mint caused die clashes. PCGS 8, NGC 4. The last two examples sold for $11,750 in January 2017 and January 2015. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $16,500. Only two coins are graded finer, a 64+ and the Pogue MS65 (which sold for $44,063 in September 2015). The present example is from the Palmer Collection, a date set that is famous among Bust half aficionados that was handled some years ago by Sheridan Downey. Our consignor purchased it privately in August 2011. This impressive coin is a representative of this hugely popular variety. Cert. Number 28524354 PCGS # 6104
