 1810 S.284 (R-3). Low 'T' in LIBERTY. Mint State-60. This highly distinctive obverse shows LIBERTY with its 'T' positioned low and tilted drunkenly to the left. Here is an exceptionally boldly struck Classic Head coin just slightly off-center and boasting lovely, smooth reddish-brown surfaces of superlative quality. The high grade places this outstanding example at the very top of the CQR and second in the Noyes Condition Census. Finding its equal today would be a task, finding a better specimen might prove impossible.
Ex Cleveland American Numismatic Association Convention Sale (Federal Brand Enterprises, August 1964, lot 122).
