Description

1800 AU 55 Cleaned. B. 1-C. This is an interesting variety that shows the M in AMERICA punched over a previous, much larger M, probably from the punch intended for eagles or silver dollars. There are hairlines evident on each side that dull the surfaces overall, but there is also a great deal of original mint luster remaining, so much so we have to wonder if this coin had not been cleaned, would it be graded MS 60? Well defined on both sides, there is only the usual slight softening of details in the center of the hair curls and on the eagle's breast feathers. Minimally abraded, and especially clean on the reverse.
