<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3142699, member: 66&quot;]It is an impressive piece,&nbsp; Die stage characteristics&nbsp; match that of a stage II proof except for one major thing, the missing detail in the hair curls below the ear.&nbsp; It looks like the result of overpolishing of the die.&nbsp; But those details are there on later die stages of the 1833 C-1.&nbsp; I suspect they used a very nice high grade later stage C-1 to make their obv die then overpolished it removing most of the die carck through the left hand stars making it resemble a Stage II which only comes on proofs.&nbsp; the polishing also removed detail in the center of the die below the ear.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is still scary good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
