Nearly Unc, brown. Conforms to Courteau 58, but different obv. from both preceding piece and “Group B” pieces noted above. Struck from a significantly flawed obverse die. The middle uprights of B and P are joined by a meandering crack that traverses the inner face of the intervening period. P and R in Province are connected by two small breaks in their lower halves, and a crack between O and V creates the appearance of a spike emanating from the left of the V. Die chips on either side of the O in Of, and the upper opening of the adjoining F is largely filled by a globular flaw. The piece merits some close inspection, particularly in and around the legends, as it has a less regular texture unlike the other uncirculated Loye pieces in this group – almost giving the impression that the fields (of the die, not this specimen) were tooled.

Note: this lot is part of The Richard Cooper Collection.
