Lot Description

An exceptional coin for the advanced collector, this one boasts pinkish copper shades which show just slight mellowing. PCGS has only graded 31 as such, and importantly, just 5 higher (all MS-65 Red). Boldly struck throughout, and downright hard to imagine how this coin survived in such wonderful condition all these years. On the obverse we see a couple of very minor fly specks, and they are not detracting. An opportunity for the specialist. <BR>Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
