 1817 O.110. Brilliant Uncirculated or better. Nearly the later die state with an advanced die crack on the top and right side of the obverse, but the reverse die crack through 'ERCA' is not yet present, and both dies show clashmarks. Satiny lustre throughout and a delight to study as the surfaces are so well preserved. There are some faint hairlines and a shadowy vertical scuff left of the clasp and curl above. Toned with attractive dark blue and russet near the rims in areas, lighter silver elsewhere. The strike is typically soft on Liberty's curls, but the eagle's feathers are well defined.
