| Mostly bright silver with frosty gold and iridescent toning at the peripheries. A few trivial surface marks are noted, consistent with the grade. Only one finer example is listed among 12 coins in the JRCS census. This is a scarce die marriage. This variety is from an obverse die used also for 1837 B-2 and a reverse die also used for 1835 B-8, 1836 B-1 and B-5, 1837 B-1 and B-4. Perfect obverse. The reverse has a heavy die crack through D STATE. From our sale of the Miller Collection, November 1992, Lot 151. |
