LOT 233 1814 Overton-105 R2 VF30+. Frosty steel gray with brighter silver in protected areas and overtones of light bluish steel. Smooth with nice eye appeal. A tiny mark near the dentils above the front of the head is the only notable defect. Later die state with strong die clashmarks on the reverse. Struck from misaligned dies with both sides positioned off slightly to the bottom affecting only the dentils.

LOT 234 1814 Overton-107 R2 PCGS AU58. Frosty light silvery gray with darker bluish steel toning near the rims, particularly on the obverse. Sharply struck with very nice eye appeal.

A very nice piece with mint state eye appeal. 59098116
