| Incomplete planchet. Illustrated in the third edition of Overton, page 625. Fully brilliant with frosty silver lustre and only a trace of very slight rub on the highest design points. A large planchet flaw left of the date with a piece missing out of the coin, however, this is absolutely as struck. Not to be considered damage in any sense of the word. Graded EF-45 by Superior at the Pugh Sale. Dear Superior: Please send all your EF-45 coins that look like this. From Superior’s sale of the Pugh Collection, May 1992, Lot 1459. Earlier from a Long Beach, California coin show circa 1988. |
