A patch of pitting behind George's head is noted, as are a few pockmarks on the reverse. The Vlack 3 obverse die is also used with 1771-dated pieces. Eric P. Newman's original envelope notes that the obverse die cracks on this specimen are less developed than they are on his 1771-dated Vlack 3-71B (also in this sale), underscoring the fact that these pieces were backdated. Listed on page 69 of the 2018 Guide Book. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Newman IX, November 2017, lot 15267, realized $504.
