Lot 728
1838. Large stars. No Drapery. . F-111. NGC graded MS-68. A needle sharp strike with fully undisrtrubed frosty white surfaces that are as close to perfection as you will ever see. Interesting obverse die cracks bisect the obverse (see below). This example displays incredibly beautiful luster and is for all intents and purposes tone-free; regarding the surfaces these are devoid of any marks. The design elements complete the scenario demanded by MS68 qualification and are sharply impressed. Quite simply, a beautiful specimen for the connoisseur of Liberty Seated dimes. One which you will not want to miss out on. Pop 2; none finer.
F-111, Rarity-4. Obverse die crack from dentils beneath Liberty's foot, progressing diagonally upward across her legs and torso, terminating in this early state at her shoulder clasp. Additionally, a heavy criss-cross thatch of raised die lines can be seen in and around the bow on the reverse.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,000.
