Obverse with horizontal fissures, as struck, across the effigys head, no other marks worthy of mention, reverse rim tight to top of Libertys head and ET, scattered light fissuring here and there, some faint roughness at the bottom of the icon. Still a pleasing example of the variety.” The Miller-Ford and Bobby Martin coins, the latter a 2011 purchase from an English source, may be the best of this die marriage. Both are nice EFs.From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from Mike Ringo in January 1986; Steve Tanenbaum Collection; our sale of Collection SLT, January 2012, lot 7354.
