[QUOTE="900fine, post: 1024410, member: 6036"]The Heritage description on the link above mentions [I]"The present coin is an example of the scarce O-120a variety, easily recognized by the cud in the shield stripes on the reverse."[/I] Terminology is important, but rather than split hairs on the terms, I just want to offer the idea that the OP 50c might have been struck from a die missing some chunks, and that's what gives the blobby look between the gules. In any event, it appears to be as made by the Mint. Folks who have The Book on seated halves can chime in; hopefully, there are some die state notes therein.[/QUOTE]
