Not perfectly struck, with some blunt details, especially at the top of the head above the headband. The color might suggest to some that this piece has been cleaned and retoned, although we do not believe that is the case. The heavy flowlines of the late die state might be cause to shed a different light on this piece.<BR><B><BR>Die State IV. </B></I>The latest recorded die state with cracks joining the tops of TED, the bases of ED ST, and the tops of ST.

Thomas Reynolds,</B></I> of Omaha, Nebraska, is a longtime member of Early American Coppers and a dealer whose trade is almost exclusively limited to the early cents and half cents. He began collecting coins in 1952 and was introduced to early copper coinage in 1965. His numismatic business became a full-time venture in 1986, but he is also still a collector, with a complete set of 1798 large cents, including all 46 varieties, nearly all in choice condition, as well as other Condition Census early-date cents.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
