Lot 1772
1866. NGC graded AU Details, Improperly Cleaned. Light gold tone. Only 4,000 struck. Another elusive 1860s decade coin, though under the shadow of its 1865 counterpart, still and all well worth considering.
The date logotype this year was made by punching the final 6 deeper into the die than the first 6, giving the final 6 a somewhat larger appearance, although the same punch was used when the logotype was made. On the present die, the digit 1 is especially prominent, probably indicating that the punch was not evenly applied into the working die. Other technicalities could be studied (PCGS # 7987) .
Estimated Value $700 - 750.
