Baseball Die Crack Reverse 		AU50 PCGS

 Original SOLD
$2500 		Original, Newtown Collection. A good variety needs a good name, and the “Baseball Die Cracks” description of this WB-2R is apt, with a pair of reverse arcing cracks neatly emulating the stitching of a baseball. This example represents an advanced die state, with near-terminal cracks at the base of (AM)ERICA. The patina is pleasing, with bands of electric blue framing silver and brown centers. Light crust inhabits both shields. Typically struck, with weak obverse dentils and most claws blending together. Bugert rates the scarcity of this variety as R-5 (31-75 examples known). This is a favored die marriage among variety collectors, and one that should be more recognized by the market. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder. December 1969
