Description du lot

Soft luster throughout, with light grey toning. A burst of sunrise enlivens the legend, while lending a sparkle to the obverse stars. The short obverse streaks (drift marks) are nothing more than impurities in the planchet, elongated by the rolling mill in the course of compressing ingots to coin size. They are de rigueur in early federal coinage. Do not be shy with your bid. The `14/3 in AU is a coveted commodity. Est. $2,000 to $2,750.
