Large 3. Solid detail with surfaces that blend light silver-gray shades. Traces of mint luster remain on both obverse and reverse.

Small Stars Reverse. A better date with a mintage of 15,017 which includes both the large and small star variants. This is a nice original example with strong detail and minimally abraded surfaces.

Small Date, Large Fraction. S-258. Well detailed with choice surfaces that are problem-free and retain a fair amount of mint luster. The obverse is a light reddish-brown while the reverse is medium brown. An arcing die crack at the lower left of the obverse field is diagnostic of the variety.

Plain 4, No Stems. Extremely well struck with bold hair detail and drapery folds on the obverse and sharply detailed leaves on the reverse wreath. The surfaces are a delightful soft brown with considerable faded red, and drenched in vibrant mint luster. There are minimal minor marks and far fewer than are tolerated for the […]

C-8. Spiked Chin. Sharp detail with pleasing brown surfaces.

Spiked Chin. Glossy brown surfaces with a fair amount of remnant faded red.

Spiked Chin. A spike-like projection juts out from Liberty’s chin on this interesting variety. This is a choice example with sharp detail and problem-free glossy brown surfaces.
