Lot Title:
|
1847 PCGS AU-50.
|
|
Description:
|
For the aficionado who loves strictly original "dirty gold", here is a coin worthy of consideration. While lacking a little in the area of luster for the grade, prodigious dusky patina drapes this entire ten-dollar with a nuance of bronze and gold coloration that has evaded any attempts at "improvement" over the years. A smattering of ashy buildup surrounds several stars and clings to many letters on the reverse, aiding apparent sharpness. 1847 is not a rarity in the gold series, but unmolested gold is not always widely available, and this coin is a treat in that regard. Buy it, and keep the history alive!

1847 Coronet eagle AU-55

The ready appeal of this early Coronet gold coin is augmented by the prooflike fields that plainly display a lot of parallel die polish. A remarkably bold example as a result, and one that has been... |
