The reverse of the 1883 w/the Roman Numeral V within a wreath of corn and cotton. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the upper perimeter and the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is at the bottom and no CENTS.
Comments:
A rare pattern with only six specimens in the Saul Teichman roster. The present near-Gem can be identified by a small area of dark toning near IN, and displays ice-blue fields and moderately frosted high points. Liberty's neck displays minute retained laminations, and a curly lint mark crosses star 11. The strike is razor-sharp.
