Lot Title:
|
1805 (S-269, R.1) PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Description:
|
This coin is way up there on the condition census, with only 16 examples of the date earning an uncirculated Sheldon designation by PCGS. What's more, this is the only Sheldon variety for the 1805 year that displays a pointed upper serif on the "1" in the date. Conditionally, the striking details are superb, and the surfaces are mostly smooth. However, an area below Liberty's throat, on her breast, appears to have undergone a slight repair, with the resulting evidence being seen on the second leaf spring down on the right branch of the wreath (jw). (PCGS# 001510)
