Lot Title:
|
1841-D PCGS XF-45.
|
|
Description:
|
The "small D" commands no premium as a variety, being the more common of two die marriages for 1841-D, but the total mintage of 29,392 assures scarcity as a date in the series. XF-45 is an excellent "sweet spot" for collectors, since examples in and around that grade are relatively available, yet offer almost all the positive character of much more expensive near-mint coins. For this attractive mustard-gold piece, a spindly die crack snakes upward from Liberty's ear and pronounces this a late die-state, yet both dies were still stable enough to deliver acutely sharp details to both sides. Luster is minimal, but that's expected of fifteen points of wear. Best of all, morsels of original dirt still cling to the all the stars and peripheral lettering, rendering an exceptionally pleasing original visual effect.

Large die cracks quadrisect the obverse, and suggest impending die failure. That PCGS invoked Code-92 (cleaning) will surprise most bidders, as the coin looks really original at first glance,... |
