3176: 1795 50C Two Leaves, O-108a, T-17, R.4, VF35 PCGS
1795 50C Two Leaves, O-108a, T-17, R.4, VF35 PCGS. Tompkins Die State 4/3. Often identified by a small rim break on the reverse below the right ribbon, the O-108 (T-17) variety is confirmed by some curious die damage around star 1, and an unusual thick die line in the dentils below the die work. This is the late die stage, which shows a light die crack above AME in AMERICA. Attractive silver-gray surfaces exhibit gold-gray accents around the raised elements. A group of Mint-made adjustment marks cross the eagle's tail. Eye appeal is strong thanks to a sharp strike and Choice, semireflective surfaces.
