Ultimate #153 WB-9, Near Choice, Newtown Collection. Gray and silver patina is surrounded by the frosty luster remaining in the stars and legend, with occasional crust evident around the shield ribbon and arrowheads. A few faint hints of maroon color are present. WB-9, with the date sloping downward to the right, and die roughness between (AMERI)CA and the rim. While the type 2 reverse was introduced in 1858, the 1859-O reverse dies are exclusively from the type 1 hub, with shorter bases on the two Ls in HALF DOL. Well-struck with most star centers distinct, while the left claw joints exhibit partial separation. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder. December 1969
