This interesting example appears to be struck with a reverse die not listed in CL or Duan, though since neither reference lists more than one or two different dies for this date this is not surprising. Upon close inspection several of the characters are distinctly different setting this die apart for the ones plated in said reference material.
Estimate: $400.00- $600.00
