VF-30 Mumps Obverse.</B> Ten points sharper but there is a struck-through line &#40;caused by a piece of wire stuck on the die&#41; on the E in UNITED and another arcing through the ribbon loop under CE in CENT. Both defects are as struck, but they are distracting nonetheless. Otherwise the only defects are a few tiny ticks on the cheek and some microscopic roughness at IC in AMERICA.

The reverse is glossy reddish brown and chocolate with dark steel brown highpoints. Sharply struck EDS, Breen state I. Called EF40 net VF30 and tied for CC#7 in the Bland census. The &#34;Mumps&#34; feature at the throat is clear. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,000-2,000. <I><BR>Ex Hollinbeck Coin Co. 1/1952:910-C. Douglas Smith-Jack Beymer 12/82-G.
