Lot 1438
1833 O-103 Rarity 2. NGC graded MS-65. A frosty white coin. The surfaces are bright with moon-glow freshness and show none of the muting often affecting on dates in the 1830s. We could spend hours describing the luster. However, the grade says a lot about its freshness, its originality. Such, then, for luster. Turning to the other key indicator, a coin that is desirable with this meticulous strike on the hair curls and cap, Liberty's drapery as well. The eagle shows abundant detail in its plumage. If any weakness is to be found, it runs down the right-hand side of the shield and impacts (slightly) the claws on that side. Spot-free; gleaming, and a solid Gem MS65. Pop 21; 5 finer, 2 in 66, 2 in 67, 1 in 68.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
