<B>1829<H10C> V-1, LM-18, R.5. Reiver state c. VF25 NGC.</B></I> Dark gray and attractive for the grade. This variety has remained difficult to obtain despite being published in the original Valentine reference some 75 years ago. Identifiable by a minor scratch behind Liberty's head which touches the eighth star, her cap, then angles straight to the field between stars ten and eleven.<BR> On this die pairing, the obverse has been mated with five prior reverse dies and the reverse has been paired with three other obverses. Both dies were retired after this variety was struck. The obverse die state has advanced with a minor die crack down through the I to Liberty's cheek and neck, faint die cracks are seen connecting stars one through six, a heavier crack seen on previous marriages connects stars three and four to the rim, and this crack now shows a lump above star four. On the reverse, the lower portion of the F in OF is filled.<BR><I>Ex: Madison Coin Box, (June, 1985)</B></I> Envelope Included.
