Lot 547
1805. 4 berries. JR-2, Rarity 1. PCGS graded MS-67. Vivid blue toning on both sides with fiery rose and orange intermixed on both sides. The strike is typical with slight central softness, but the surfaces are simply stunning, utterly free of contact and showing abundant appeal. The color is particuarly attractive here, and far more vibrant than usually seen. Furthermore the quality is two or more points above that of the more typical mint state examples of this early Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle type coin. By 1805 the Philadelphia Mint had been striking coins for a dozen years, and things were starting to balance out with more regular production. Somehow this particular coin survived in such incredible condition, tied with a few others as one of the absolute finest known of this date. There simply are none finer and certainly none more lovely. Pop 4; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 4477) Estimated Value $65,000 - UP
