Owner Comments:
A very nice F12. Obverse & Reverse match up well, with a consistent light gray patina. Minimal marks & dings. Looks to me like this coin has experienced nothing but honest wear.
On the Obverse the digits 18 are repunched. There's also a die clash in between Liberty's left elbow and left thigh, which makes it look as if Liberty has just a bit of drapery hanging from her elbow. On the Reverse Gerry Fortin states at his website that "a bold die clash is easily seen through the left side of the right wreath and through DIM(E)." In this example it shows nicely. There's additional clashing in the right wreath just below the ME in Dime.
