1811 O.113 (R-5). Small 8. Choice Extremely Fine. Generally pleasing with pewter gray surfaces with darker highlights. There is a minor rim pinch on the lower obverse below the second '1' in the date and on the corresponding portion of the reverse, which might be mint caused. Struck from worn dies as always seen, with the diagnostic date leaning left and reverse die crack through D STATES and clashing in the fields. An impressive example of this elusive variety. Probably in the top two dozen known.
