Lot Description

Nicholas Jackson Collection. Overton-104 (R.3). A tine ejecting upward off the top right corner of the shield narrows down attribution between O-104 and O-107. Look at the flag of the "5" in the date to identify the former die-marriage. Pale chartreuse-grey shows throughout over the lustrous surface, yielding to a hint of denim-blue nearer the rims. This specimen may have been struck upon a flan that thinned slightly toward the very upper obverse and lower reverse, where details are a bit less articulated than is seen with the finer sharpness everywhere else.
