Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Smooth and very attractive with a few minor marks including a small collection of tiny ticks left of the upper lip and a minor rim bruise at the U in UNITED. LDS, Breen state VIII, with strong die cracks on the obverse plus the final lighter one from the cap through the curls to the shoulder loop. The die crack at the ear down into the neck is crumbled and very wide. This die was shattered. Graded VF35 and tied for CC#2 in the Bland census (the superior EF45 and the VF35 that is tied with this piece are both in the ANS Collection making this example tied with one other for finest available to collectors according to the Bland census). Noyes says VF30 and tied for CC#2 behind the finer ANS piece, his photo #21497. A very impressive representative of this rare die variety, and it has a nice provenance. The attribution and Paschal-Husak-Boka provenance are noted on the PCGS label.

Certificate #35570.50/81233639
