Lot Description

Medium date, upward slope, broken S, partial O. This date is very scarce to rare in circulated grades, with Mint State examples being much more difficult to locate. A frosty and lustrous specimen, a coin that approaches Choice quality in many respects. Soft golden hues gather over the reverse. The seateddimevarities.com website notes: <em>"This date is more difficult to locate than the 1879 and 1880 dates in all grades."</em> From a mintage of just 24,000 circulation strikes.
