Lot Title:
|
1857 NGC AU-55.
|
|
Description:
|
Scarcely any evidence of actual physical wear appears under examination, but numerous tiny bagmarks and abrasions speak of some time spent in pockets in contact with coins and other trouser items. An uneven strike resulted in strong obverse shield detail, but the lack of detail at Liberty’s head yields an oddly balding appearance. An obviously original coin, with gunmetal blue iridescence sweeping across heather-gray fields.

Perhaps a bit overly white to be considered ideal, but details are excellent overall, and a vestige of rim toning has just begun to appear at the bottom of the obverse. |
