The blunt, low 1 in the date identifies the variety, along with the star touching the back of the eagle's neck and both feet of the last A in AMERICA firmly touching the claw. The reverse, while not in the terminal state e, shows several die cracks: one from the rim through the R in AMERICA into the field; one through the lower shield, the eagle's feet, and nearby leaves; one from the edge to the I in UNITED into the field; another, from the bottom of the D in UNITED to the wing. This greenish-gold piece shows considerable luster, and perhaps only a bit of light field haze precludes a finer grade. Adjustment marks are minimal, confined undistractingly to the rear of the hair.<BR><I>Accompanied by an old envelope that shows it was purchased as Uncirculated for $65.</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>\)
