<B>1822<50C> AU58 NGC.</B></I> O-107, R.2. Although mentioned in neither Overton nor Peterson, several of the lefthand stars are recut on this specimen, with the recutting most noticeable on the innermost points of stars five, six, and seven. (Two other XF45 examples in the present sale lack this feature.) This is the popular "button cap" variety, with a round dot on the cap that resembles an ornament. The reverse legend spacing confirms the attribution. The present example is only slightly circulated, with radiant mint luster abounding and an iridescent peripheral toning mix of aqua, copper, violet, and indigo. The strike is robust on the eagle and star centrils, but a bit soft on Liberty's highpoint hair curls and the clasp.<BR><I>Ex: Bowers and Merena (4/1986), lot 1579.</B></I> Envelope Included.
