Overton stated that the field was unfinished below the chin; however, it may be the case that the rough lines he examined are actually clash marks from the eagle's wing. See O-121 below for a similar appearance. An early die state without any evidence of the crack from 5 o'clock to the bust. Although the present obverse die was only used for O-117, the reverse proved more hardy and was eventually paired with three other obverse dies. Deep gunmetal-gray in color, lighter on the major devices than in the fields. Minor marks are near the third star and the nose; the reverse shows no relevant marks but the center exhibits greater wear than the remainder of the piece.<BR><I>Ex: Paul Padget (7/28/1981).</B></I> Envelope Included.
