Lot 1256
1859-O. NGC graded MS-66. CAC Approved PQ. Housed in an Old Holder. Well struck with semi-reflective fields. Looks like a Proof coin. With original mintage of 480,000 coins and a poor rate of survival, 1859-O is scarce in all Mint State grades. There is a sea of soft silvery luster under the original toning that includes areas of attractive (and iridescent) steel blue). The rich endowment of mint originality (semi-reflective, as mentioned) is undiminished in intensity, confirming the MS66 grade assigned, and the powerfully impressed features are free of even the smallest blemish. A significant opportunity for either the O-mint specialist, or the advanced Type collector.Pop 13; 4 finer, 3 in 67, 1 in 68.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,200.
