Lot Description

A fully brilliant appearance greets the viewer of this Choice specimen. The complexion features rich luster and overall smooth surfaces. An attractive and extraordinarily preserved example of this iconic variety.<p><p>The "Scarface" name came from a most unusual die crack that extends down Liberty's cheek starting from the rim between E and P to the base of her nose down to her neck and lower curls. This is one of the most dramatic broken dies in the entire series, struck in limited numbers. As such this issue has become very popular with collectors and has earned its way into the Top 100 VAM varieties.
