Owner Comments:

O.101a. R2.

One of the more popular overdates, the 1814/3 die marriage rapidly deteriorated, producing various die states. Two are fundamental: O.101 without die cracks and O.101a, with. The former is an R6 which testifies to the rapid decline of the dies. The dies clashing no doubt contributed to their spectacular failure. This example is an early die state for the late O.101a, and is very well struck for the issue (the left wing is always weak on these). It appears original, handsomely toned and highly lustrous.
