Lot Description

12 graded MS-64+, 3 higher at PCGS. Sizzling luster and rock-solid medium gold hue will inspire dreams of upgrade for many viewers, although technically, PCGS nailed the grade perfectly. While immune from mentionable contact, two very small shiny luster grazes dangle beneath the point of Liberty's chin. Otherwise, the coin appears marvelously original and just about flawless, helped in part by an outstanding strike. One small planchet flake above "TA" in STATES bears mention.
