- Tompkins Die Stage 6/3, Rea et al. Die State e. <strong>Tompkins Plate Coin</strong>. Frosty luster is nearly complete and easiest to appreciate in and around the centers, which are untoned on both sides. The peripheries are lightly toned in iridescent olive-blue and sandy-rose that provide further visual appeal. This is a sharply struck coin where allowed by die state, the eagle's head and neck typically soft for the Tompkins Die Stage 6/3 attribution. No sizable marks assail the eye on pleasing surfaces.<p>This minimally circulated coin so ideally represents the very late obverse die state of the 1836 Browning-1 variety that our consignor used it to illustrate Die Stage 6 in his 2008 reference on this series. The obverse is shattered with numerous crack, most quite heavy, and has an internal cud break at Liberty's brow. Fascinating!<p><strong>Steve M. Tompkins Commentary:</strong> When offered this coin by Liz Coggan, then at J.J. Teaparty, I was immediately impressed. What a cool LDS example! Full cracks on both sides and late enough that the obverse die is almost bi-planer, causing the weak strike at the eagle's head on the reverse. I couldn't finalize the purchase fast enough.
