Lot Description

Even grey toning complements the delightfully smooth surfaces.  This is your coin if you seek a VF flowing hair half for a type or date set.  The strike is centered; the devices well defined, save for weakness in the eagle’s feathers.  A nice bonus is the familiar engraver’s error: the final S in STATES is struck over an inadvertently punched D.    Est. $3,000 to $4,000.
