S-271. The famous “Comet” variety, so named for the prominent die break that streaks from the left obverse rim into Liberty’s head, resembling a comet. This dramatic feature makes it one of the most recognizable and collectible die varieties of the Draped Bust series. This coin retains strong definition in Liberty’s hair and facial features, as well as excellent detail on the wreath and legends. Surfaces are smooth and pleasing for the issue, displaying a natural, even brown patina. The distinct “Comet” die break is a late die state, bold and immediately visible, adding to the coin’s charm and desirability.
