Lot Description

Mintage: 98,180. 16 graded MS-61, 33 higher at PCGS. No individually major marks emerge from under a loupe, but a few scattered irregular abrasions will be noted. Still, this seems to be a very decent example for MS-61. Attenuated luster persists over a very good strike. A more elusive antebellum date in even lower mint-state grades.
