Spring 2026 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Losbeschreibung: 112.5 grains. Dark brown and mostly glossy with some light granularity largely confined to the reverse. Slightly off center on the obverse toward 7 o'clock, but better centered on the reverse, though there is weakness at the right periphery as often seen. Good detail for the grade. As a follow-up to the die state commentary in the previous lot, the I of INDE shows the usual state with the small break resting atop that letter, making it look like a more aggressively malformed punch than it actually was. There are also obverse clash marks visible in this state. Very similar to the Norweb specimen in every respect.
