Lot 1812
1799 Small Stars. NGC graded MS-62. Breen-3A. Taraszka-4A. Rarity-7 variety. It may be rare as sin, but this is also a beautiful coin! Other than a short scratch near the L in LIBERTY, we can't find anything worthy of critical comment on this specimen. It is blessed with a great strike in all aspects on both sides, loads of gleaming luster, and that so-appealing bright yellow gold color that the best of these early pieces exhibit. So, if you are a variety collector and you truly appreciate quality, this coin threatens to do some damage to your checkbook, because we expect spirited bidding for it. No question of its desirability; only question is, how much to bid for it. Best to come to the sale in person, examine it carefully beforehand, then get that hand into the air and keep it there! An American numismatic prize, no doubt about it!
