Lot Description

A sharply struck example of this scarce die pair.  Note Liberty’s curls and drapery and the eagle’s wing feathers.  A heavy die break adds sex appeal to the variety as it traverses the reverse, bisecting the coin from 9:30 to 3:30.  Pale gold toning glows with luster.  The coin spent little time in circulation and stands at 5th or 6th place in the Condition Census.  Another important coin from the Nomura Collection.  From Heritage’s Jan. 2013 FUN Show auction, lot 4263 @ $4,406. Estimate:  $4,000 to $5,000
