Lot Description

Nice original greyish-violet toning on both sides. A superior specimen of this variety, likely of Condition Census quality and simply beautiful to behold. Exceptionally lustrous and exhibiting original toning. The cheek of Liberty is a bit softly struck but most of the obverse and all of the reverse is very sharply defined. The fields are free of significant marks, and just a tiny natural planchet flaw right of star 4 is noted as an identifier. This is likely a Condition Census quality piece (in other words one of the best six examples of this die variety known), and anyone who sees it will agree that it is a very pretty and well-preserved coin. Pop 2; 1 finer in 66 for the variety</B>. <BR>Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500. <I><BR>Ex Eliasberg Collection.</I>
