Extremely Fine. Uniform wear, yellow-gold surfaces exhibit a trace of faint red. Some hairlines are seen, mostly in the upper left reverse field. This reverse is particularly distinctive, showing three berries and leaves merging with both 'U' and 'N' of UNITED. |

About Extremely Fine. A second. Cleaning long ago gave this coin's yellow-gold surfaces a fascinating matte-like texture. Light tooling at the top of Liberty's cap and to the left of the 'U' of UNITED suggest the filling of a hole or the removal of a jewelry loop from that area. Nonetheless the design details are quite bold and the edge reeding is strong and essentially unaffected. |

A second. Extremely Fine in strict terms of wear. This coin's planchet is bent, showing a peppering of tics and some bolder marks in the fields on either side. Although this coin saw its share of harsh handling, it was never holed, nor does it exhibit evidence of jewelry use. Here, basically, is an honest coin that has seen mishandling over the last two centuries of its adventurous career. |

$120,000.00

An exceptionally detailed strike combines with flashing prooflike lustre to create startling visual impact. Assertive yellow-gold fields and devices show a dash of clear red at the obverse center. There is a considerable degree of cameo contrast that serves to further embellish the allure of this beauty. Careful study reveals some inconsequential reverse field laminations, however it cannot... more |
