N of UNITED boldly repunched on reverse, as is the C of CENT; a small die anomaly is noted at the base of T in CENT.<br /> <br /> <strong>Strike: </strong>Stars on left soft, those above Liberty's head and to the right are sharp. <br /> <br /> <strong>Surfaces: </strong>Boldly lustrous with far more red than brown. Other than a tiny fleck before Liberty's mouth, the surfaces are completely mark-free to the unaided eye.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <strong>Census Rankings: </strong>Tied for eighth on the Noyes Census; finest listed on the Bland Census. The Noyes grade is MS-60, the Bland grade is MS-70-, and the McCawley-Grellman grade is MS-64.<br /> <strong>&nbsp;</strong><br /> <strong> Pedigree: </strong>French's 37th Sale, October 1948, lot 36; Dr. Kenneth J. Sartoris; Del Bland, January 1973; Jerry A. Bobbe, June 1979; Ira &amp; Larry Goldberg's sale of the R. E. "Ted" Naftzger, Jr. Collection, Part II, February 2009, lot 301; Cardinal Collection.<br /> <br /> <strong> Commentary:&nbsp;</strong>An outstanding example of one of several varieties of the 1834 date. It is interesting to contemplate that some years have multiple varieties, such as this. The forthcoming 1846 date excels in this regard, but other years (1836 being an example) do not differ much from coin to coin.
