Superb Gem Unc (13: 4;5;4). FS-401b. Snow-2c; which is one of the die pairs of the Obverse of 1856 that do not have the repunching. Six different die pair are known. This example is well struck with hardly a mark. Could be a MS66; which would tie it for finest graded. The Obverse style of 1856 is identified by the different lettering style. Most obvious is the square inside to the letter O in OF. There are other differences as well. These are struck from dies made in 1856 and left undated until 1857. This is one of the top graded examples of the 1857 Obv. of 1856 type.
