Lot Title: 1858 (Snow-2) Large Letters. NGC MS-65.
Description: Snow-2 offers a doubled-die obverse, with the doubling most evident at RICA, and a "type two" reverse. Handsome luster emanates from this GEM example, and benefits from moderate honey-gold toning that is absolutely ideal for bronze small-cents. Well struck, the obverse appears to be in an early die-state, as some very fine die scratches that look like tines project upward from the eagle's beak and the edge of his leading wing. Neither side has any major marks, the most obvious grade factor being a very thin hairline that droops downward from the eagle's breast. (PCGS# 002019)
Low Estimate: $2,800.00
