71.3 gns. Extremely Fine. An outstanding specimen. Discounting the various intermediate die states of N.6 (so many of which have become collectable that something as clumsy as a Noe 6.1.1.1 is actually on want lists), this is the third finest example from these rare dies the cataloguer has seen after the Stearns Choice AU coin and Roper's AU.
