 1858 Brilliant Uncirculated. A considerable rarity in any grade, with a meager mintage of 2,133 pieces of which few survive. Most show moderate wear, and locating an attractive Uncirculated example as seen here can be quite a challenge. The fields retain prooflike reflectivity, a result of die polish. Examination will discover a minor planchet flaw from the top of Liberty's headdress nearly to the 'O' in OF, and a couple of trivial nicks above the date, another on the post of the '1'.
