A magnificent example of this noted rarity – the scarcest die pair of the year. The requisite reverse die breaks are in their infancy, allowing the die to impart a full strike. Steel grey toning, with deep, undisturbed luster. The surfaces are first rate, showing clash marks but virtually no signs of handling or circulation. The similarly graded (NGC AU 58 CAC) specimen is a later die state, displaying a poorly detailed reverse. It brought $5,875 in 2013. This highlight of the Wild Horse Valley Collection will generate stern competition.
