An attractive true Unc example, not a just-made it "slider" in a certified holder. Not as dark and "muddy" as commonly found in this assigned grade, with brighter orange-brown surfaces. The assigned numerical grade is likely due to the presence of an obvious planchet flaw right below the "T" of UNITED. This is a planchet flake where a piece of the planchet fell out of the coin post-striking. Of additional interest is a major Reverse die crack which passes through almost all of the left side of the wreath - this die would have been near terminal at this point. There are also some other lesser die cracks visible, some of which are shown in the extra Reverse images provided. I took a quick look at Dave Poliquin's IH Cent site but was not able to ID the Reverse die as one he has listed. A bit unusual as this die crack should be obvious even in lower grades, so either a new discovery of I just missed something (always a possibility). In any case, this should be of interest to someone. On that basis, I have padded the price just a bit, and added a Make an Offer option if anyone has a major problem.

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.
