Lot Description

Overton-102. The usual die-state includes a bisecting obverse die-crack, seen here as a raised line snaking upward past the left side of zero in the date, veering toward "B" in LIBERTY, then reaching the upper rim. Quality from the standpoint of grade appears to be every bit of "choice about-uncirculated", as substantial crystalline luster erupts from either side, and seems particularly bold within the periphery. Nicer sky-blue toning forms a ring around the obverse, and leads to partial coloration of the reverse, as well. An unusually likable coin that should command a bit of a premium.
