Significant examples:
PCGS AU-58 (illustrated above).  Ex - Early American History Auctions, Inc.'s Mail Bid Sale, October 14, 2000, Lot 1005, "An absolutely gorgeous example of this variety with a bold strike, full details, and a rich, olive-brown color. The obverse shows moderate to heavy die-clashing as is typical of this variety. Both sides show negligible traces of wear and super-glossy surfaces. The overall eye appeal is excellent, making this one of the better known examples of Maris 46-e. A wonderful coin for the advanced variety specialist. This is the fourth finest out of 81 examples of the Plain Shield, Small Planchet varieties that have been graded so far by PCGS!"
