Medium gray with light gray highlights and wisps of pale gold toning. A lovely example with only a few trivial surface marks. This is a scarce variety that is hard to locate in higher grades. The first four varieties of the year, namely JR-1 through JR-4, were produced through a combination of two obverse and two reverse dies. The balance of varieties beginning with this marriage and continuing through JR-10, were each produced from unique obverse and reverse dies without any interconnected die marriages. Of this group of six die marriages, only one reverse die for JR-10 was used in a later year. This suggests the possibility of a new marriage being discovered within this group.

This is the only use of either die.

Perfect dies.

Purchased September 1980 from David Davis.
