Lot 2019
1856-S. NGC graded AU-58. A partially lustrous, honey-gold specimen with deeper orange accents in the border recesses of the design, and traces of mint luster in the protected areas. Both sides of this early San Francisco Mint issue are well defined, and myriad tiny marks and abrasions have collected in the fields from its short stint in circulation. Scarcer in high grades than its mintage of 68,000 pieces suggests, just three examples have been accorded Mint State recognition by PCGS. Pop 44; 3 finer in 61. (PCGS # 8621) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400.
