Lot Description

Bolender-11, BB-191 (R.5), and substantially rarer than the only other known AMERICAI die-marriage. The first star is distant from the nearest curl and has no vertical die defect beneath it as on B-19. A rather crusty example with original patina -- almost to excess around some of the stars -- this coin does display a minor detraction in the form of a brief scratch above the head. Nevertheless, the attractive coloration and allure of a truly rare die marriage will attract strong bids.
