Lot Description

The scarce early die state, with die lines alongside the date and no die break at stars 2-7.  Iridescent gold toning through the stars and legend provides an eye-catching frame for the antique grey centers.  The surfaces are virtually free of contact marks.  From David Kahn, privately, in Nov. 2009 as “rare prime R.5.”.  Estimate: $1,300 to $1,600
