Lot 4071
1839. Large letters. NGC graded MS-60. An important example of this lovely type coin which was issued for only two years. Liberty has a long loose wave of hair which sweeps back over her ear to her hair bun. Slightly prooflike in the fields, and sharply struck. Examination will locate the usual bagmarks from handling around the time of issue, but they are evenly distributed and none are deep or problematic. Minor hairlines in the fields and upper devices. Probably in the top dozen of this date to survive and always popular for the unusual obverse design. An impressive coin for the numismatist who is assembling a world class collection.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 20,000.
