Struck from a near terminal Obverse die. Under normal circumstances, this die would have been retired, however the demands of the Civil War economy kept it in production. There are several heavy die cracks and severe rim "cuds" from the collar breaking down. This coin may actually be Uncirculated, however there are some scratches along Liberty's face (shown in the enlarged image) and I believe that it was dipped at one point a long time ago. Other than this problem, a generally attractive coin.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
