This is a lovely example with medium gray surfaces and appealing iridescent toning along the borders. Considerable lustre remains visible. A second example of this die marriage and considered by Russ Logan to be a remarriage after 1825 JR-3. Stack's graded this "Choice About Uncirculated" noting that very few grade above EF-45 according to information in the Dime Book.

A remarriage of these dies.

The obverse has a faint die crack inside the dentils at left with a small rim break over star 5. The reverse has faint cracks joining the base of NIT, another at base of ICA to the upper arrowhead, and a very strong crack from the border over final A through all three arrowheads and the C of 10 C. This appears to be very slightly later than the same cracks on the reverse of JR-3.

From Stack's sale of December 1992, Lot 1038. Ex William L. Subjack. Earlier from Ralph Pfau at the Boston ANA Convention.
