 1817/3 O.101a. A Choice Very Fine, nearly Extremely Fine. Pleasing for the delicate iridescent peripheral toning which favors lemon-yellow hues with some lustre remaining in the fields. Decent surfaces for the grade, with minimal hairlines or surface marks. On this later die state, a thin crack extends through much of the right reverse, and both dies show multiple clashmarks. The overdate feature is one of the most obvious in all of American numismatics, there simply was no way to hide a previous '3' behind the slender '7'.
