A scarce variety and a scarce type rarely encountered in grades above XF! Easily identified by a small rim break on the reverse below the right ribbon, the O-108a can be further confirmed by some curious die damage around star 1, and an unusual thick die line in the dentils below the die work. While adjustment marks are present no handling issues are noted. Boldly defined throughout with pleasing golden-grey color and ample luster, the overall eye appeal is quite strong. Sure to pique the interest of variety collectors and type specialists alike!
