Lightly cleaned and now with pale gray, lilac, and iridescent toning. The surfaces are very pleasing, although there appears to be a scratch on the reverse from the eagle's beak to left wing. We say " appears" as there does not seem to be any displaced metal, and the toning within this depression is absolutely identical to the surrounding fields. This is possibly a "struck through" error as made, and deserves closer scrutiny. The distinction would obviously be very important regarding the overall quality. This die marriage is at the lower end of the Rarity-5 scale with a number of examples found in recent years, including one by this cataloguer several years ago. In the second edition of Overton in 1970, this variety was considered Rarity-7.

Late obverse die state with weak borders and stars drawn to the edge. The reverse has a raised die lump on top edge of scroll below D S, a hallmark of this die.
