Discovered by Walter Breen in 1951, this variety combines an obverse type and a reverse type that are found on other varieties, namely an obverse with the 6 in the date knobbed instead of pointed, and a reverse that shows no stem of the olive branch below the eagle’s claw. Other Knobbed 6 varieties are common, as are other No Stem Through Claw varieties; together, they combine to make a famed rarity. Despite the fact that dedicated specialists have searched high and low for this variety ever since Breen published it, few have been found. The condition of the reverse die likely condemned this marriage to an early end, as at least two of the survivors are broken heavily over UNITED. A major variety that has been sought by cherrypickers since its discovery, decades of laborious searching have not yielded more than a handful of survivors, despite the ease of attribution from arm’s length.

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the D. Brent Pogue Part I Auction, where it realized $105,750.
