Lot 2203
1912. NGC graded MS-65. Rich golden toning. For those who aren't familiar with the growth of America's state-system, 1912 is the first year of issue in which the edge of the coin contains 48 raised stars. Previous issues had 46 stars on the edge. The additional stars are meant to honor the next two states in the U.S. at the time: Arizona and New Mexico. While 1912 is not a rare issue per se, it is scarce in Gem as the population figures indicate. This fine looking specimen has frosty luster with vivid honey-gold surfaces; no notable marks of any kind. Something for the collector with an eye for beauty! Pop 62; 17 finer (PCGS # 8871) .
Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,000.
