The Bass specimen was a middle die state with an obverse die crack from 1 o'clock to 4:30, through Liberty's nose. This die crack is absent on the present example of this very rare marriage.<BR> A pleasing piece that possesses considerable bright luster throughout the legends, stars, hair, wings, and shield. There are no adjustment marks, and the strike is good with only minor blending of detail at the centers. Marks are too minor to mention, although a small spot between the NI in UNITED may be useful to identify any prior auction appearances. Housed in an old green label holder.<BR><I>From The Chandler Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Robert Scot<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
