Lot Description

Full luster beneath a gloss of golden toning.  The coin may have been stored in a kraft envelope.  Unusually well-struck for an 1809.  Only the left wing displays a hint of weakness.  Note, especially, Liberty’s curls, the eagle’s talons and 13 stars with center-points.  Minimal signs of contact.   Estimate: $1,600 to $2,000
