 1898'O' Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Light russet peripheral toning and pleasing for the satiny, full mint bloom. The strike is typically blunt on a couple of the lower right obverse stars, and on the eagle. Clean surfaces which show a few minor scuffs and hairlines mostly on Liberty's cheek, not unexpected for the grade. Another key date which is elusive in this state of preservation.
Ex Metropolitan New York Numismatic Convention (Stack's, April 1962, lot 2063 at $95).
