Lot 550
1837. No Stars. NGC graded MS-65. Lovely blue toning with reflective fields. This is the first appearance of the new Gobrecht designs for this denomination. A tiny obverse mark in the left field is old and toned over. The strike is sharp and the surfaces are fresh. This new design lasted only two short years, and by mid 1838 stars were added to the obverse. The addtion of the stars helped to protect the open fields and extend the wear patterns of the devices through prolonged years in circulation. Housed in an Early Style Holder. Pop 27; 38 finer at NGC. Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500
