Losbeschreibung

71.0 grains. A handsome piece toned in a rich blend of olive and dusky sandy-gray patina. Obverse impression off center to 11 o'clock with the border into the letters THVS in MASATHVSETS, reverse off center to 5:30 with the letters N DOM running off flan. Both legends are legible, many letters full, inner beaded circles complete, tree, date and denomination bold. Several shallow clips are seen around the periphery, giving the coin a pleasantly out-of-round shape. There are no significant flan flaws, however, and also no marks of consequence. Very nice for this variety, and an excellent representative of the Noe-8.2 die state with prominent reverse breaks involving the letters GL and N in ENGLAND, OM in DOM.
