Lot Description

Tush Acreage Estate. Sheldon-275 is one of only two die-marriages with a large fraction on the reverse, greatly narrowing down the attribution possibilities, and it is also the scarcer of the two, given an R.3 rarity rating. A lovely coin endowed with subtle walnut-bronze iridescence, the surface exhibits pleasing, generally hard low-contrast luster. Each of the individual tresses of Liberty's portrait has been carefully delineated by a very good strike, and not many small contact marks pepper occasionally pepper each side, most prominently between ONE CENT.
