563, illustrated, sold for $2,530.00 Quoting Q. David Bowers
again, regarding the obverse die of the present coin we note "there
is a fairly deep die scratch extending straight from the bottom left
segment of the bale, at an angle slightly upward through the folds of Miss
Liberty's gown terminating in waves of the sea. Although this
prominent feature has been ignored for many years, it was mentioned by
Lyman H. Low in the description of an 1873 Proof trade dollar in the R.T.
Rose Collection Sale, September 9-10, 1909. In that catalogue, Low
wrote "a distinguishing feature of this specimen is a well defined
line (in the die) through outer skirt of Liberty, extending from the
cotton bale to water."
