Lot Description

A low-mintage affair with only 5,320 business strikes produced, the 1871 is an issue that is seldom offered in even the most prestigious numismatic auctions. Whereas most survivors of this issue grade somewhere in the AU range, this particular example is a sharp-looking BU with no significant rub in evidence. Possessed of pretty color in a rich yellow-golden hue, a rare bidding opportunity for the advanced collector of Liberty gold coinage.
