There are five die varieties known for the Script 8 type, and three different die marriages for the Block 8. This attractive Choice example represents the Script 8, Head of 1835, Variety 13, with a berry in the cluster of leaves on the olive branch. The design elements are well-detailed, with a touch of the usual softness on the central devices. A prominent die crack travels from the edge near star 6, through the field and hair, down to Liberty's jaw. The lightly marked orange-gold surfaces retain much of their original mint luster intact.
