Description du lot

The Large Letters, Head of 1838 is a significant two-year subtype, with Liberty's portrait showing a broad, scalloped truncation, considerably different from the one employed midway through 1839 until the end of the series. The 1839 Large Letters tens were created by punching a 9 over the 8 on a leftover 1838-dated die. This lustrous AU features handsome green-gold color and plenty of bold detail despite honest wear.
