Owner's Description

O.104 R1. Tied or second in the condition census for the die marriage. Per cataloger, "Star 2 is drastically recut, star 4 less dramatically so and the upper serifs are missing from the Es on the reverse. The Large 9 obverse has a broad 9, and the tail of the 9 is much closer to the upper loop than on the Small 9 variant. The right sides of T-I are in line. A thin ring of crimson-red encircles the rims on each side of this beautiful Gem, while the centers are a medium greenish-gray color as the coin is viewed at indirect angles. Full, frosty luster underlies the toning, and the strike is unusually sharp." Obtained from StacksBowers Rarity Night Auction on 8/9/2012, Lot 11436.
