Ex Charles Link.A die breaks runs from the rim to Liberty’s lowest curl, bisecting the 9 in the date. This die state is extremely rare. I’ve never cherried an example. It garnered unusual acclaim during the several years that the Red Book included a photo of the 29 over 7, using an O.102a exemplar. (Check your older Red Books to see the closeup photo.) The coin was gently wiped. It is lightly toned with muted luster. The die state was unknown to Al Overton. It did not appear in the standard reference until Don Parsley issued a 5th edition in 2013. (A 4th Ed. entry for the O.102a mistakenly described a nonexistent die break at star 1.) Est. $1,000 to $1,500.
