The obverse is identified by the recut 39 in the date, and the position of the mintmark, centered over the space between the 8 and 3. Both dies are shattered with extensive die cracks. An obverse crack bisects the die from star 2 to the chin, hair curls, and star 9. with another past the right side of the C, and up to the first crack. The reverse has several cracks, including one through the field over the left wing, and another bisecting the die through the eagle's head. A pleasing greenish-gold representative with sharp design elements and satiny luster, probably conserved in the past.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> William Kneass<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
