Comments: Obverse 4 continues to degrade resulting in a significant late die state. Die cracks nearly encircle the obverse through the stars and through the date and arrows. Surprisingly, this late die state example still comes well struck. The reverse die is nearly perfect with only traces of a die crack at the tops of the letters in UNITED.

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, MS63
