Lot Description

Ms. Anna's Collection. 16 graded MS-64, 10 higher at NGC. So well struck are some of the details that Liberty's foot shows a curious anomaly -- her second toe is longer than her first! That said, portions of the design are not as well defined, showing a whisper of softness in the cascading hair, as well as around the eagle's left (observed) talon. Despite all this verbiage, one cannot deny how attractive the ultra-original surfaces are to the naked eye as delightful chartreuse-salmon, magenta-sunrise and pinkish blue tones shuffle in and out of view while the coin tilts beneath good lighting.
