The repunching over the 1 is gone and the repunching over the 8 is dull and barely visible. The die clashmark of the earlier state at the left top of the O in ONE is gone and a new clashmark inside the top of that E has formed. The late die state probably played a role in the folks at NGC and Heritage misattributing this piece as the rare N-28, which shares this obverse die in a later state, and this incorrect attribution is noted on their slab label. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census. Pop 1; The only example graded at NGC in Brown for the variety. Estimated Value $600-UP.

The fields are starting to show fine radial die flowlines and the clashmarks at the throat and inner curl are clear. The strike is above average for the variety, especially at the ear. The stray 1 imbedded in the right side of the ear is clear, as is the top of the 8 in the hollow right of the Y. Why these numerals were punched so far from the date position remains a mystery (although rum rations or worker boredom have been offered as possibilities). Whatever the cause, this is a nice example with stronger than normal evidence of the "Dartboard" feature. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS in BN. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Wes Rasmussen, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 2/8/98:448.

A few remnants of the vertical lines up from the dentils under the 54 remain visible at the dentil tips.
