 Gem $5500 New September 2! Unlisted Die Pairing, Gem Original, Massachusetts Collection.. Moderate, steely luster produces swirling cartwheels as this San Francisco piece is rotated under a light.

The reverse reveals blue color behind the wreath, with subtle lilac hues evident at the center. Unlisted in the Fortin web-book, with a level date and thick mintmark that are consistent with Obverse 9 and Reverse D.
