Full luster save for light friction on the high points. The fields are essentially undisturbed. Silver-grey toning, a tad darker on the obverse. Sharply struck obverse. The reverse die has an interesting history. It was first used on the 1828 O.118. Then paired with a new obverse die, the 1829 O.110. The 1828 O.118 obverse die, however, was still in good shape. It was used again in 1829, “remarried” to its original partner. The reverse die outlasted the 1828 obverse and finished life with the die pair offered here, the 1829 O.110a. Acquired from Elliot Goldman (Allstate Coin) during the May 1991 Long Beach Show.
