IL 65A-1a R9 MS65 30% Red more so on the reverse and very well struck. S. P. Sedgwick & Co., Bloomington Illinois with very rare Lincoln reverse die 1144. The finer of just two examples we have seen offered. This die combination is only available in Copper. Many times rarer than the -1a variety with 1145 Lincoln reverse, by our count 2 to 13, despite both being call R9. An example of -1a in MS65 sold for $660 in our December 2008 auction. From the John Ford collection. In a NGC holder graded MS65 RB.
