Lot 1059
1868-S. NGC graded MS-65. Frosty white coin.A beautiful Gem BU coin that retains undiminished luster in the fields and is generally bright silver throughout, with a touch of shimmering satin effect on the devices. The strike was sharp enough to bring up the devices such as Liberty's head and the surrounding legend, as well as the wreath details on the reverse. No evidence of the heavy die clashing which plagues some others near this grade level. One of the top survivors from the mintage of just 260,000 pieces and such quality is decidedly rare. Pop 5; 2 finer in 67.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.
