Lot Description

R-7-. 7-12 Minted. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. The mirrors on this coin appear exaggerated a bit as we do believe it was conserved (it had a thick cruddy crust). Only with a really strong glass can you find a few thin stray lines. Both side are a mix of copper/brown/violet/vivid green colors. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and have strong strikes. The eye appeal is actually catchy! PCGS 1, NGC 0. There may be two graded higher (last appearance 1990)! This will be one of the more reasonably priced patterns from the Simpson Collection!
