 1813 Br.1-B (R-6). Choice About Uncirculated. This distinctive variety shows the flat-top 3 high and close to the curl, 'S' in STATES poised directly below the 'E' of the motto. Boldly glowing canary-yellow lustre gives this handsome coin its splendid vitality. The strike is rather good, with just some minor weakness at the very centers, as might be expected. Such wear which may be present is truly trivial and takes the form of lightest rub in the wonderfully smooth fields. A glass reveals some minor hairlines on both sides. Here is a second specimen of this rare die variety; the inclusion of these two coins in this auction should not lead one to believe that this is a common variety, as another high grade specimen may not soon present itself to the marketplace.
