Comment:
This Pollock variant has the point of the Cap at the left edge of the second "S" of States while the P-1074 has the tip of the cap about centered with the "S". USpatterns.com states they believe that only 2 or 3 P- 1068 and 3 or 4 of the P-1074 exixts. Overall, the Judd 941 there are only 6 or 7 known
Richly toned, this highly flashy near-GEM. Reflective copper fields are a delight to behold, generally clean and free from serious flecks or carbon spots of any kind. The coloration is beautiful.
