Pleasing light gray with peripheral iridescence. A few very minor hairlines and other imperfections are consistent with the grade. The obverse die is the same as B-5 and 7 while the reverse is unique to this marriage. A rare die marriage with just 15 examples listed in the Quarter Census.

Late die state. The obverse appears perfect. The reverse die is shattered with a crack from the border through second T of STATES, scroll, beak, and to the wing just left of the shield. Another crack through the right upright of N joins the left wing. A third crack, extremely faint, crosses the first A of AMERICA from border to scroll. A jagged crack is visible from the border to right wing between ER.

Purchased November 1995 from our sales department.
