Lot Title:
|
1868 PCGS MS-64 RD.
|
|
Description:
|
Watery mint luster reflects ideal mint red from the obverse, though the reverse is a little less reflectivity and coruscates with substantial cartwheel effect. PCGS has assessed a grade of MS-64 RD, and this coin offers slightly prooflike character, partly because of the highly repolished dies. Carbon spots are limited to only some inconspicuous specks, gathered mostly between the shield lines on the obverse, and evenly scattered across the reverse. A lovely near-gem!

Fully 95% of the obverse mint red color is retained, though the reverse has given up 20% of the original red due mostly to the central area having mellowed significantly. This is a highly reflective... |

This specimen's surfaces radiate an ample amount of orange-brown iridescence, while being further enhanced in splashes of blue hues. A couple toning specs appear to the right of the shield, but they... |
