Lot 1773
1867. NGC graded AU-58. A hint of light tone with reflective surfaces and much mint glitter still present. Well struck on the main devices. The chief weak point on almost all dates in this ephemeral series (1854-89) is the ribbon that ties to two halves of the wreath together. The bow knot tends to be indistinct on most. Still, 1867 is up there among the scarcest years with only 2,600 struck. Business strikes were delivered on January 24, 1867. Apparently there was no further call for the denomination. The date logotype is deeply punched into the die, producing a bold image. Pop 45; 27 finer at NGC. (PCGS # 7988) .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,600.
