Description

PCGS 1833 MS 65. JR-10, R.3. A scarcer variety, and a later die state, that shows most of the die cracks known for this variety. This is the fourth use for both the obverse and reverse dies; yet, there is little evidence of deterioration, just slight softness of details in the centers. This is the finest known example of this variety; the Lovejoy piece was only a choice XF. In the catalog of the Lovejoy Collection, the statement was made, "No Mint State specimens of this variety are known to date." The surfaces show much mint brilliance still, but are accented with a slight peripheral golden patina. The surfaces are pristine with muted satiny luster. Purchased by Mr. Faraday from the Little Mint of San Francisco, April 15, 1968, for $225.
