Lot Description

Lightly toned with full cartwheel luster.  Reasonably early die state: the underlying 0 is visible, bottom left and top right of the first 1 in the date.  The coin saw little if any actual circulation as the surfaces are virtually free of contact marks.  Last offered in Heritage’s Dec. 2008 auction, lot 605, bringing $2,086.  It will do better today.  PCGS Price Guide suggests a generous $3,500.  Est. $2,000 to $2,750.
