 1825 JR-1 (R-4). Gem Brilliant Uncirculated. Blazing lustre in the fields and well frosted on the devices, particularly on Liberty. Rich coppery-gold toning around the periphery favors the obverse, less so the reverse. A tiny planchet streak connects the first star to Liberty's bust, another is found on her cheek. Early die state with no rim crumbling present, but the obverse die shows three separate clashmarks in the field from Liberty's wing and matching triple clashmarks on the reverse from Liberty. Certainly within the top dozen known, and tied with most of those reported.
