LDS, Manley state 5.0. The obverse die is shattered and swollen causing weakness at RTY and at the opposing area at ICA and the denominator of the fraction. Otherwise the details are well struck and this piece offers excellent eye appeal. The 1 above 1 die-cutter error is bold and is noted on the NGC label. This is the plate coin for the variety on the CoinFacts.com web site. Our grade is EF40. Pop 4; 6 finer. Estimated Value $3,000-UP. Ex Tom Reynolds 6/98-Bill Eckberg.
