Long fraction bar. The obverse appears on S-232 and S-233. The reverse appears on S-232.<BR><B><BR>Surfaces.</B></I> Attractive reddish-brown surfaces with olive overtones. Some faded red is evident on the reverse. The sharpness is about 10 points finer than our EAC grade, downgraded due to a small dark spot at the left base of Y, another behind the head, and minor obverse rim bumps at 3 o'clock and 10:30. A few other minor blemishes are of little consequence.<BR><BR><B>Die State VI. </B></I>A late die state with a reverse rim break joining the top of the second T in STATES.<BR><BR><B>Census. </B></I>The finest known example of this die marriage is in the ANS Collection, followed by numerous other Mint State and AU coins. This is one of the few Husak coins that does not rank in the extended Condition Census of Noyes. <BR><BR><B>Commentary. </B></I>This is an excellent opportunity for the date or type collector to acquire a coin from the Husak Collection. The variety is common, the grade is below the extended Census, and the earlier provenance is unrecorded. The S-232 might prove to be one of the most affordable coins in this offering, an excellent example for the pedigree collector. In fact, the current cataloger might actually consider this coin for his own pedigree collection.<BR><BR><B>Provenance.</B></I> We have not determined the past provenance of this specimen.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
