| A lovely example of this popular variety with delightful iridescent toning over light gray and amber surfaces. The reverse has a minor scratch across the right wing tip. Otherwise, the surfaces are very pleasing. Slight weakness is noted at the right wing tip. Sometimes called the 1806/9 variety, the digit 6 was first entered in the die upside down then corrected. The obverse has a die crack from border to bust through the digit 8. On the reverse, several light die cracks are noted, including cracks at the tops of UN, above E of UNITED, and through U to the arrowheads. There are no rim breaks or cuds. |
