2024 EAC Sale

INDIANAPOLIS EAC 2024

LOT 194 1794 S-32 R2 F15. Ten points sharper where properly struck but the dies were not in proper axial alignment (die faces not perfectly parallel) causing weakness along the right edge on both sides. The left half of both sides are smooth and choice but the weakly struck areas show many small planchet chips mixed with tiny contact marks. Frosty light to medium brown. E-MDS, Breen state II (which usually comes with the axial alignment problem). The radial die crack through the first S in STATES is strong but the rim cud over LI in LIBERTY has not formed. Graded F15 by Del Bland.
