Lot Description

The small letters reverse of 1828 is another “Red Book Rarity.”  Only 1 die pair of the year has small letters.  All 1828 O.119s were struck in 1829, when the small letters reverse was introduced.  The reverse die is shared with the 1829 O.111.  Gold, sea green and russet encases the stars and legend.  The centers are a soft antique grey.  Luster contributes to the superior eye appeal of the coin.  Est. $850 to$1,250.
