Lot Description

A scarcer variety of this popular restrike, neither the Baker nor Whitman references include attributions for plain edge strikings from the Vlack 17-L dies. This piece exhibits gently mottled olive-gray and golden-brown patina with much faded mint orange color remaining, especially around the obverse periphery. Fully struck with crisp detail throughout. A bit muted in overall appearance, and with faint carbon flecks also upholding the Select grade from PCGS.
