Description du lot

The definition of "crusty"! What a great looking, totally unmolested picture of originality. Bold olive-green gold patina shows accents of rose gold and burnt orange when rotated. Nicely struck up with only the most insignificant marks that come from a brief stay in circulation. William Kneass's Classic Head design is a transitional series bridging the old tenor gold coins of 1795 to 1834 and the Liberty series struck 1840 to 1907. The short lived series is a great series to collect as there are no MAJOR rarities, but at the same time is quite challenging to find attractive, original, unmolested pieces. PCGS 86, NGC 45, CAC 5. The only CAC-approved example in this grade sold back in July 2013, where a similar looking example brought $1,293. This is a very pleasing first year of issue for the type and the current PCGS price is $1,250. Cert. Number 28621390 PCGS # 7692
