Owner Comments:

CAC: pop of 1 in grade. Purchased at a 2021 Gerry Fortin Rare Coins Auction.

Auction Catalog Description reads as follows: "Late Die State Lightning Bolt, Frosty Luster, Light Silver-Gray Patina, Choice Original, Tenafly Collection: ... the "Lightning Bolt" description fits this coin well. A reverse die crack extends from the rim [between the I and C in America], across the right wing, and forms an internal cud. Surfaces are 100% original and choice with ample residual luster. A light silver gray patina covers both obverse and reverse. Obverse strike is complete with nicely round stars and complete facial details and hair curls. The reverse die is degraded with multiple die cracks but still exhibits an effective strike with distinct claw joints .... CAC reports 28 pieces in all grades...."
