Lot Description

Captain Jack Collection. Decisive strikes are the norm for 1879-S, but the Philadelphia coins typically only approach the perfection of their San Francisco brethren. Nevertheless, tremendous luster reverberates off these fields, bounding up and down as a shining lamp plays over the surface. Free from marks except for a brief pin scratch beneath the eagle's tail.
