 Choice $700 New March 31! Partial Drapery Late Die State, Near-Gem Original, Twin Lakes Collection.. Is the 1838 F-109 die pairing a "partial drapery" or not as asked by many collectors. During a prior die pairing where the obverse and reverse dies clashed, the "partial drapery" designation is a given as the die clash under the right arm is prominent. During its final die state, the "partial drapery" obverse is paired with another reverse. The die clash under Liberty's right arm is still visible though die erosion has weakened its presence. The "partial drapery" remains significant enough to be labeled occasionally by the grading services. This Twin Lakes F-109 example has not been label by PCGS as a "partial drapery" though the die clash is still visible. This example offers frosted luster along with a complete strike. Light gold toning is present on the lower obverse and throughout the reverse. Surfaces are entirely unabraded with metal flows lines into the peripheries. This near-gem lot has been reserved as a regular No Drapery Large Stars issue and could be a bargain for the astute die variety collector. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
