Lot 1241
1851. NGC graded MS-66. A needle sharp strike exhibiting brilliant greenish-golden luster. A fresh and original gold-surfaced coin whose high-end grade complements the equally fresh mint bloom. A blunt impression is sometimes left by the recoil of the dies that struck Gold Dollar coinage, although coins made at Philadelphia tend to be outstanding (as here); for the record, we can proclaim that this specimen, unlike the others, is virtually superb, as it almost edges into the MS67 category, and is suitably outstanding in detail, eye appeal, and sharpness. Pop 19; 9 finer (PCGS # 7513) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
