Lot 1601

1800. B-1, BB-181. Rarity 5. PCGS graded EF-45. Mostly untoned. A well preserved example which prior owners must have spent endless hours enjoying looking at it (and caring for and handling it with kid gloves). One-use obverse on this scarcer variety. 180 close in date. TY too far apart. The 1 in date barely misses touching the hair. Slight elevation in field between lowest left star and hair due to depression in die. Die flaws near inside point of star 11 and also at lower outside of same star. Star 8 near Y, and star 13 near bust, the two about equidistant. On the left, stars 3 and 4 are closer together than are any others. Point of star 11 closest to border has its end bent upward, a most unusual characteristic. Obverse die used to strike 1800 BB-181 only. Pop 2; 4 finer for the variety, 3 in 53, 1 in 55. (PCGS # 40067) Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400

 
Realized $3,910
