Lot 1276
1848. PCGS graded MS-63. Intensely lustrous with semi prooflike surfaces. A beauty! Housed in an old green label PCGS holder. Fresh golden color. Some faint marks are evident under low magnification, but the overall quality and appeal are both outstanding to the unaided eye. A very choice example of an early No Motto date whose true scarcity is mostly under-appreciated. Here is a date that is practically unavailable in Mint State despite its liberal mintage figure of 260,775 pieces. It could be many sales before a comparable specimen crosses the auction block, or the present piece reappears. After all, there may be collectors lining up to put it away in their collection for years and year. Pop 5; none finer (PCGS # 8236) .
Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500.
