<B>1800/79<1C> NC-2, B-11, High R.6--Damaged--NCS. VG Details. Good 5 EAC.</B></I> The obverse has a thin but prominent rim break from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock. Only two die states are recorded, with and without this slender cud. The rarity of this variety was incorrectly listed in the Breen <I>Large Cent Encyclopedia,</B></I> and should have been recorded as High Rarity 6. At the time, just 13 examples were recorded. Two more have been discovered since. Of the 15, only one is better than VG. Like so many other rarities, many more collectors are searching for these coins than every before. In 1958, when <I>Penny Whimsy</B></I> was published, only four examples were known. With just one example discovered every four years since 1958, the odds are slim that any individual collector will be so fortunate. A better choice would be to bid on this Reiver Collection coin as it crosses the auction block.<BR><I>Ex: Donald H. Boller (2/1984); Del Bland (2/18/1984).</B></I> Envelope Included.
