 1842 MS-63 (PCGS). The history of this piece is not known to us, but, likely, it reposed in a museum cabinet or some other out of the way place for a long time. In the meanwhile it has gained deep iridescent toning on both sides, with gold, magenta, and blue. The lustre, mostly masked by the toning, seems to be rich. The striking is somewhat light at the centers, typical for 1842. This piece has better visual quality than normally seen at the MS-63 level.
PCGS Population: 14; 19 finer (MS-64 finest).
