The varieties described as Newcomb-7 and 8 are from a single die pair, so they are die states of a single variety. This lovely specimen has crisp dentilation. The reverse is cracked through STATES OF. The early die state is equal to the description of N-8 in the Newcomb book. Delicate blue toning appears on the fully lustrous chocolate-brown surfaces with a few splashes of darker toning on the obverse. Heavy die lines over MERIC are clear on this example.
