A bold Extremely Fine with claims to a higher grade. Bright fields and design features display considerable mint frost. This pale yellow-golden example enjoys the initial appearance of a full About Uncirculated coin. |

$1,100.00

About Uncirculated or nearly so. The reverse exhibits repunching on the '9' in the date, as well as some indication of die clashing just above the second 'L' in DOLLAR. Evenly struck and retaining its fair share of vibrancy on either side. Very close examination of this specimen will yield evidence of subtle hairlines in the fields, however the ''arm's length'' appeal is not significantly... more |

- or somewhat finer. Rich golden lustre covers both sides with a minute tic or two keeping the coin from Choice. A magnificent strike results in a wealth of fine detail. One of 7,036 business strikes produced. This is a self-evidently elusive date, with only 20 pieces in all Uncirculated grades appearing over the decade covered by the Garrett-Dannreuther auction record. Here is an exciting... more |

- or virtually so. A fourth. This wonderfully tawny gold example displays a sharp strike and bold detail. 'LIBERTY', headdress feathers, value, date and wreath are delightfully crisp for additional visual excellence. Although 1878 had the last significant mintage for circulation, Mint State examples are elusive and much sought-after today by type and date collectors. |

About Uncirculated. Even, light orange-gold surfaces exhibit a certain glossiness and many tiny tics on the obverse, while the reverse displays a gentle reflectivity and hints of coppery toning in the protected areas of the devices. Here is a well struck survivor of a mintage of just 1,000 in this generally underproduced series. |

The variety with the '2' in the date struck over a high '2'. Choice Extremely Fine, nearly About Uncirculated. Here is a well balanced example of this scarcity that still offers mirror-reflectivity in the most protected areas of the devices. The surfaces are otherwise frosty and quite nicely defined. Only 76 Proofs and 1,500 business strikes were coined of this date. |
