 1848'O' Choice About Uncirculated and a highly compelling specimen. Rich yellow-golden fields and design features retain a full measure of icy mint frost. The surfaces furthermore are far smoother than the norm, there being only a single trivial obverse line at Liberty's jaw, as well as an ever so minor obverse rim mark at 2:00. As is virtually always the case with examples of this date, there is some degree of striking softness at the centers, however this softness is rather limited on the currently offered coin and not particularly troublesome. This low mintage date (only 35,850 were struck) is scarce in any grade. Surviving examples at or above the condition level of the present specimen are certainly quite rare with there likely being no more than 15-20 pieces that surpass the quality of the currently offered coin.
