Lot 1290
1826. NGC graded MS-65. The eagle and most of the stars are sharp, and some of the stars even show crisp definition in the radials. Deep iridescent color set ages ago by the passing of time: golds and mauves and blues over a bright silvery base. In all, an elegant coin from the time of John Quincy Adams's presidency. Strictly a "type" date, but it remains a vivid reminder of the beginning of the Western Movement--in fact, in this year the first overland trek from Utah cleared the Cajon Pass and arrived in San Diego, California. 26 graded MS65 by NGC, and a few finer.
