Sharply struck and nicely centered. Subdued reddish gold with green highlights. Some lustre is visible with very faint hairlines. A scarce variety. Acquired after publication of the Dime Census with a single AU-50 example as the finest listed.

The first use of the obverse die later used for JR-12 and the only use of the reverse die.

Perfect obverse and reverse dies.

From David Akers’ sale of the Pittman Collection, October 1997, Lot 548. Previously from James Kelly's sale of November 1957, Lot 800.
