Rarity ratings provided courtesy of the Bust Half Nut Club Rarity Ratings Committee as published in their 2020 BHNC study report.
Obverse Description
Stars 7-8-13 all about ½ mm from cap and cur OBV. 14. S1B, S7LE-UHHb, S8C, S13B. Stars large. Date is 8 ¼ mm. Mouth slightly open.
Reverse Description
Center dot between crossbars 3 and 4 REV. N. A1C, A2LH, A3LE. 50 C. is 2 mm. A-A is ¼ mm. E is far left with stand centered between ED. Again the inside right serifs of all three A's are missing, but the left stands and crossbars of same are straight and strong, as compared to the previous reverse M. Most specimens also show die cracks contiguous to the legend, at UNITED STATES and one passes through MERICA leaving a small lump at center of R and continuing through 50 C. to edge below leaves. This reverse shows many unusual similarities to reverse M, but positions of diagnostic A's and center dot will readily establish the difference. (64,63,63,63,62) R.3
