Date: 1847Frosty golden tan with subtle overtones of light sea green. Looks mint state but there is a hint of friction on the very highest points of the devices. A couple tiny swipes of darker olive brown toning (not carbon) at BE in LIBERTY and a light diagonal nick on the chin are the only notable marks. MDS, die state a, with satiny fields from fine die flowlines in the fields but no cud breaks. The always-present "moonscape" texture on the portrait is clear as is the repunching on all 4 digits. The repunching over the top of the 7 has been called a "Large 7 over Medium 7" in some older references, but the upper 7 was just more delicately impressed into the die so it appears slightly smaller. A great example of this tough variety, and it comes with a superb provenance that has been traced back unbroken for a century.Ex James G. Macallister 5/23/1928-Willard C.
