Losbeschreibung

A very attractive and highly desirable early dollar variety (B-2, BB-63, which is rated as an R-4). Pleasing and original dove gray dominates the fields, while a slightly lighter shade of silvery-tan gray can be seen on some of the devices. Only light striking weakness on the lower portions of the eagle, the rest of the devices were well rendered when the two dies that make up the Small Date, Small Letters variety came together in the screw press. Even with the moderate circulation we are unable to find, even with a strong glass any distracting marks. PCGS 41, NGC 2, CAC 4. No CAC example in this grade has ever sold at auction. The most recent PCGS XF40 coin to sell was in January 2015, which realized $7,638. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $8,750. The next grade up, even in the current market, would likely cost into the five figures. This coin represents a great example for a collector grade type or date set. Certification Number 33111870
