<p>[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 8190463, member: 44357"]I'm very glad to have helped pair you with this coin! It's a great piece, made even better by its pedigree. The New York auction sales prices were absurd; in my eyes, this coin is a solid balance of condition, style, pedigree, and cost. It does have some obverse die rust but is well struck and doesn't have the common die shift many examples hold.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven't had a chance to research varieties in depth but the low weight (0.99g vs 1.16g) is numismatically interesting and puts it on a different weight standard, making it significantly rarer as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
