Lot Description

Grellman Die State b. Intense mint frost to both sides, this coin is further endowed with significant mint color in soft pinkish-rose. Toning is a bit more prevalent on the reverse and, for both sides, takes the form of lovely lilac-blue undertones to dominant gray-brown. Well struck for this challenging type with exceptionally smooth, supremely attractive surfaces. Thanks to a large hoard of several hundred examples, the 1853 Newcomb-25 is a plentiful die marriage in Mint Sate. Red and Brown examples are the rule, but most are more deeply toned with considerably more blemishes than is the case with the offered coin.
