Owner Comments:

1839 B-6148. A very pleasing example, with nicer surfaces than usually encountered. Original lustre is present in the fields; there are minimal hairlines or handing marks. The central devices are sharp, with just a few obverse stars showing some flatness at their centers. A thin pin scratch is noted on Liberty's cheek and a few shallow scuffs are found in the lower left reverse field, another between ES of STATES. Winter refers to this date as "....the sleeper rarity of this series...." Worthy of serious consideration.
