A remarkable example of this Red Book staple. Brilliant, untoned with extravagant luster. The eye-appeal, however, is of secondary importance. I’ve not seen or handled another “E over A” that is free of die breaks and clash marks while sporting a fully struck eagle’s head. Note also the sharpness of Liberty’s drapery, cap and upper curls. In a word, WOW! The coin sold for $9,020 in MB 54, lot 9, August 2022. It is the sole “prime” listed in Steve Herrman’s latest AMBPR. He posits R.7 for the die state and will get no argument from students of the series. Estimate: $8,000 and up.
