PCGS. Ex: Miller. Bowers Die State II. An amazing display of
obverse die cracks characterize the final use of the obverse die.
The reverse, in contrast, is in its first use of the famous Hidden
Star engraver's blunder, with two extra field stars poorly hidden
behind a pair of saggy clouds. The BB-153 also features the
head-scratching placement of the two 9s in the date -- the first 9
tipped too-far left at the top and the second 9 leaning to the
right, and both digits out-of-step with the properly aligned 17.
Deep olive-gray and blue toning covers both sides of this scarce,
Choice About Uncirculated variety, with smooth fields and a notably
sharp reverse. The Bowers Encyclopedia plate coin.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24X7, Variety PCGS# 40062, Base PCGS# 6879, Greysheet# 199151)
