A solid example of this scarce Semi Key date. A very nice original AU coin, no significant marks, and no spots or stains. This was also struck from one of the most severely cracked Reverse dies I have seen for the series. This die could be said to be near terminal, with a heavy crack completely through the left side of the wreath from 6:30 to 11:30, with a smaller crack connecting to the rim at 9:00. While extremely obvious, somewhat oddly enough this seems to have escaped notice as it is not listed on Dave Poliquin's die variety site, as far as I could tell. Possibly this die cracked rather suddenly and was immediately pulled from service and condemned (I doubt it could be reground), leaving few examples struck. Worth a decent premium I think as a nice coin, as much as for the possible interest of the die crack. Please note that due to value this will require Insured shipping with Signature Confirmation, hence the S&H shown.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
