The answer is ABES
The crossword clue "Sawbuck halves (4)" corresponds to the answer "ABES". A "sawbuck" is slang for a ten-dollar bill in the United States, which features the portrait of Alexander Hamilton. "Halves" of a sawbuck refer to splitting this ten-dollar bill into two five-dollar bills.
Since Abraham Lincoln's portrait is on the five-dollar bill, the term "ABES" (a reference to Lincoln's first name) is used to indicate the two five-dollar bills that collectively make up the ten-dollar value. This clue plays on both the slang term and the imagery associated with U.S. currency, requiring solvers to connect the concept of "halves" of a ten-dollar bill with the individual five-dollar bills bearing Lincoln's image.
