Lot Description

Barry Hopper Collection. Seemingly choice overall and certainly alive with luster, NGC may have decremented the grade just slightly in accordance with a brief pinscratch just above the first star, or a few feathery abrasions in the obverse left field. At any rate, a well-executed strike cannot be faulted. As is so often noted for Carson City emissions, the surface overall displays contact marks consistent with old West transportation and storage.
