MS-65 (illustrated above).  Ex - Superior Galleries' "Pre-Long Beach Sale", October 1-3, 2000, Lot 3007, where it was described as follows: "Attractive toning; superior strike detail and luster. A gem.  Perfect dies. (Coins dated 1829-32 sometimes come with cracked reverses originally used with obverses of later date, indicating that old obverse dies were carried to the new Second Mint building in 1833-35 and indiscriminately used as long as they would remain fit for service to save time of making new dies, thus putting a lie to the original mintage figures.)" - Superior Galleries "The ANA 2001 National Money Show Auction", March 8-9, 2001, Lot 164, sold for $460.00
