Lot Description

Unbroken, blinding luster.  A whisper of friction on the portrait.  AU 55?  Gimme a break!  Most AU 58s are not this nice.  The only possible explanation is the late die state, hallmarked by shallow dentils.  But have a look at Liberty’s curls.  Nice!  Purchased raw from your cataloguer in March 1989 as “choice AU.”   Estimate:  $1,250 to $1,750
