Lot Description

A lovely GEM, tied for FINEST KNOWN O-115, a Rarity-1 die marriage. A robust, brilliant cartwheel luster highlights the layer of rich, totally original patina. Deep olive, gray, and rose hues blend with a delicate gold which really pops in a light. Well struck, the stars and letters are drawn to the edge on both sides with heavy die flow lines. The eye appeal is excellent. This GEM is housed in an earlier generation blue tag holder.
