September 18-20, 2003, Lot 5006, illustrated, "...71.7 grains. This
late die state is very close to Noe-14, just a few more strokes of the
engraving tool were needed to bring it fully up. This somewhat oval-shaped
piece is well centered and each side has even gray patina, and the
planchet is slightly buckled, as almost always seen.."
