A blazing Red coin that has no signs of spotting or fingerprints. The surfaces are exceptionally clean and lack the usual minor handling nicks present on most examples.

1869/69 Snow 3b. Repunched '69'. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated. Here is a most perfectly balanced near-Gem...
Here is a most perfectly balanced near-Gem featuring red and brown lustre and a bold strike on both sides. A solitary spot at 12:00 on the obverse is all that keeps this gorgeous specimen from a full Gem grade. This repunched date was long thought to be a 69/68 overdate. Although modern wisdom has corrected this error, collectors avidly pursue this variety for the strength of the repunching...  more

281 1879 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $100.00

Full Red on the obverse, slightly faded on the reverse. The strike is average, with softness noted on the second feather tip from the top, but the balance of the coin is sharp.
