Owner Comments:
Doubled Die Obverse East, obverse doubling is most evident within and on the outer shield lines - A significantly doubled obverse die with the entire shield and gown lines above the pendant doubled east. Doubling is also clearly visible on Liberty's pole. The 185 digits are repunched. Repunching can be seen above the flag of the 1 digit, on the upper loop of the 8 digit and above the flag of the 5 digit. Obverse 8 will be subsequently polished with complete loss of the date repunching.
Plate Coin; Well struck with even luster. Obverse is essentially untoned and reverse exhibiting light gold color.
