<B>1806 25C MS60 PCGS.</B></I> B-3, R.1. The defective right foot on the I of LIBERTY, along with a leaf point under the center of the I in AMERICA and the 5 in the denomination not touching the fletchings, confirms the die pairing. This is an early striking from Die State I, which Breen-Browning note has a "long spine from lowest leaf on right to tail of R; this fades out." The "spine" or die line here is quite bold, confirming the early die state. <BR> While this variety is considered one of the most common for the year, in Mint State it is rare, as Breen-Browning also notes. A search through our Permanent Auction Archives reveals that only three times before have we offered higher-graded examples. The strike is soft through the centers, as always, and the MS60 grade is a likely byproduct of the somewhat murky deep blue-green and purple toning, which is nonetheless attractive if not compelling.<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>)
