Variety Attribution: Obverse-Stars all large and sharp. Date is 9 3/4 mm. and small with decided slant to left. Star 12 has a small extra point down toward curl and upper lip has small defect giving appearance of a hairlip. Most specimens show a fine die crack at base of date extending left toward stars.
O-102a: At the "A" die stare, there is a fine die crack at base of 18, which circles to the left, becomes heavier, and now extends to star 12 and 13 to the right. Weakness of strike is evident at chin.
Reverse- 50 C. is 1 3/4 mm. Arrow to A is 3/4 mm. The T in UNITED is recut over a much lower T. Arrowheads are separated and all three are recut, the two upper ones are the most noticeable.
O-102a: There is a fine die crack encircling most of the reverse at or near top of legend.
PCGS Graded XF45. A nice gray dirt coin with more luster than a typical 45. Think the strike knocked the grade down by 5 points.
