Logan-McCloskey Plate Coin, Pages 273 and 277. This is an amazing gem example lustrous, frosty devices. The obverse fields are reflective and nearly fully prooflike. The reverse fields have a frosty appearance. This example is fully brilliant with pale gold and iridescent toning along the obverse border with light gold and ivory reverse. Nearly all obverse design features are boldly defined, although stars 3 and 4 are weak, a result of the reverse die state. The reverse has slight weakness in the feathers left of the shield.

From the Bareford sale where this was described as "Brilliant Uncirculated. A superb partially prooflike specimen." This example is tied with one other for honors as the finest of 16 coins listed in the Census and may qualify as the finest known for this scarce variety.

First use of obverse 1 and the eighth use of reverse DD. The obverse has a bisecting die crack from the border at 12:00, through Liberty, to the border just shy of 6:00. This crack extends through the left edge of the digit 6. The reverse has several die cracks and chips, including a retained cud from border to top of scroll, weakening letters TED.

From Stack's sale of the Bareford Collection, Lot 48. Earlier from Wayte Raymond, November 1946, Lot 258.
