Lot Description

The coveted die state with a “mouse” (die chip) on Liberty’s nose.  Light to medium grey toning with just enough luster to support the AU designation.  The consignor found the coin, unheralded and unattributed, in the Internet session of a 2018 Heritage auction.  This variety, in an earlier die state, is best known for producing the Judd 44 platinum half-dollars.  Estimate: $1,200 to $1,500
