<B>1827<50C> Square Base 2 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> O-133, R.4. Orange-red and dove-gray fields and devices concede to peripheral forest-green and ocean-blue patina. This intricately struck Premium Gem displays potent luster, and lacks any mentionable marks. Three sets of clashmarks are apparent on the reverse field. 1827 is notorious for its proliferation of die varieties. Fortunately for collectors (and catalogers), the scarce Overton-133 has numerous diagnostics, such as several repunched stars, a die line in the field above the claws, and a line above the LI in LIBERTY. The present piece surely ranks among the finest known for the variety. Herrman's census lists a single MS65 followed by three MS63 pieces. Population: 3 in 66, 1 finer (9/06).
