Comment:
The low date, bulging bun Pollock subvariety. This is where the Date is Lower as the 2 is closer to the dentils than to the truncation of Liberty bust.
About a half dozen High Date examples are known in copper, compared to about a dozen Low Date pieces. Many of them have been gilted.
This near-Gem proof enjoys smooth surfaces and deep mahogany-brown color with a single spot between stars 11 and 12
