. A
gorgeous gem specimen with delicate golden iridescent tones
on both sides. This design incorporates the small flying eagle
obverse with the oak wreath on the reverse of 1859, but with a
larger shield than adopted even in 1860. Well struck, well pre-
served and a pleasing gem of this popular transitional issue.
Pop 12; 2 finer, 1 in 65+, 1 in 66.

. Lovely blue and brown toning that is classic on these
early copper patterns. This one has the regular dies
