Choice glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. Smooth and very attractive, nearly flawless with just light wear on the devices. The only notable marks are a trail of small, dull ticks below the F in OF. Rare terminal die state (TDS), Breen state VIII late, with a clearly defined rim cud break at IC in AMERICA. The cud break is slightly larger on this example than on the preceding one. All the die cracks and clashmarks described by Breen are clear and the reverse is rotated 20 degrees CCW. The crack down through the hair is quite strong. A great die state that comes with a very nice provenance. Graded VF30 and tied for CC#8 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF25 net VF20 and tied for CC#20 overall but CC#2 of the terminal die state. Our grade is VF35. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS label. 36122.45+/32777265 Ex David Proskey-Henry C. Hines-Dr. William H. Sheldon-Dorothy I. Paschal-Eugene Exman-Roger S.
