Lot 1315
1890. PCGS graded MS-63. Only 57,980 minted. Frosty mint luster and lightly toned. A much undervalued coin in Mint State. This is a lovely, healthy-glowing Choice specimen, whose full-color obverse and reverse being all-original, beams with frosty luster. Some normal light bagmarks. Regarding this date, the clearest details are found throughout the peripheral areas including full stars, and also encompassing the key centers which are well struck as well. Pop 19; 1 finer in 64 (PCGS # 8717) .
Historic Note: Monetary history of the period from 1890 to 1896 encompasses every sort of chaos, from banking panics in England, to gold runs in the U.S., a worldwide Great Depression, to problems with the newly printed U.S. Coin Notes payable in either silver or gold, whose authorization law had to be quickly rescinded in 1893 due to the trouble they caused. The year 1890 was only the beginning.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
