Luster surges across the smooth, creamy surfaces. A halo of electric toning is the perfect counterpoint to the brilliant centers. The centers are nicely impressed. A thin die break along the legend qualifies the coin as the “a-model” of this die pair. The consignor salted away this beauty more than a decade ago, placing what he colorfully terms a “Gorilla Grip” on the prettiest coin in his collection. An 1813 of this quality is devilishly hard to find, much tougher than its sisters from 1811 and 1812.
