Lot 1977
1858. Sharpness of EF-45. Cleaned and lightly toned. Low mintage date as only 2,133 were minted. The 1858 occupies a position of special warmth and memory in the hearts and minds of numismatists. Years ago, more so than now, the appearance of an 1858 in any grade was an occasion for a celebration of scarcity or rarity--deservedly so, as reflected by the circulation strike production. This figure is far and away the lowest of any Philadelphia Mint coin up to this time.
Estimated Value $400 - 450.
