A magnificent phenomenal piece!
For the minting of the present coin, a classical reverse stamp of the so-called "shallow" type was used, as well as an obverse stamp with a doubled date, not yet described in the literature. The obverse stamp was made from a patrix, which has been preserved to the present day by punching the date. On the market, the error of stamping the date doubled with an offset to the left is known on very rare specimens of the Banner stamped with a "deep" stamp and an equally rare and sought-after hybrid of the same obverse with the reverse stamped with a shallow stamp. The present piece was struck using a different stamp with a date stamping error in the form of a shift to the right (rather than to the left as on the described variant).
Thus, it is a new variant of the stamp, not previously described in the specialized catalogs, in addition, on a piece of mint freshness. In addition, the coin was recognized with the highest among the pieces so far given, a note in the NGC grading, and not only for this variety, but for all graded five-gold coins with the banner. Out of 498 coins graded by NGC, only 10 coins received such a note.
A recommendable item for the best collections!
