$3000 		With Drapery, Near-Gem Original, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Oregon Beaver Collection. The lustrous, light gray obverse exhibits golden shades with maroon bits at the rim, while the reverse is more brilliant with a crescent of russet patina to the right. The strike is strong, with sharply defined stars and distinct claw joints. The With Drapery design removed a large part of the obverse rock and added drapery folds beneath the right elbow. WB-7, with arcing lines in the lower portions of Liberty – almost certainly the remaining traces of a design that was imparted to the die vie a mechanical lathe. These artifacts were normally polished out, but in this case the coiner was a bit careless. This coin has a story to tell and could easily be used in an exhibit. The NGC census includes 14 pieces at the MS64 level and five coins in MS65, while CAC notes seven coins at MS64 and five at MS65. December 1969
