Lot Description

The 1853 has a respectable mintage for the type of 201,253 circulation strikes, and it is generally obtainable in circulated condition. Mint State coins are scarce in an absolute sense, as are premium AUs with attractive surfaces. The only Gold CAC-stickered example of the issue, the offered coin has more in common with a certified AU-50 or AU-53 grade than it does with the EF-45 assessment on the Generation 3.0 PCGS holder. Sure to command a strong premium.
