Lot 4009
1818. Miller-123, Rarity-6. . M-123. PCGS graded MS-65. Clearly the Finest known of this variety this coin stands alone in MS-65 in the PCGS Population Report, in fact there are no MS-64s graded, and only six in MS-63. The obverse boasts glowing original mint frost and a hint of coppery toning, similar on the reverse, which retains its original luster and mint bloom. As to the strike, it is sharp on the obverse, with the reverse a touch weak at the center, probably because of the bisecting die crack that starts near the 5 in the denomination, and continues up to the second S of STATES. Another crack is noted through the base of AMERICA to the D. Close examination reveals few signs of handling, even on the devices, save for the most minute contact ticks. An impressive example of this rare type, and worthy of the finest collection. In PCGS holder #6561403.
Estimated Value $45,000-UP.
