Lot Description

B-25, BB-123. A very cool variety, noted as the Blundered Stars Reverse, where the stars were punched too high up in the design. Struck from Die state III, with multiple obverse and reverse die breaks. Deep pewter and dove gray tone gives this large silver coin a great look. Despite the moderate wear the details show off a crisp strike that must have been nearly complete when the dies came together. There are a few unobtrusive, minor marks, all natural to the amount of wear this coin possesses. PCGS 250, NGC 148. The most recent example realized $3,300 in our May 2018 Premier Session auction, and we sold one in November 2017 for $3,740. The current PCGS value is listed at $4,000. A great type coin! Cert.
