In numismatic circles, we have all heard the term "wonder coin". Well, this is a true wonder coin. At first glance, one might think it is a modern replica as it's so perfect. What we first notice is the color, or more properly, the lack of same. It is a white coin which has obviously, at some time in its past, been dipped. To deny it would be to foolishly deny the physical forces of nature. Two hundred year old coins don't stay white without help. Perhaps one of its previous owners wanted it white to match all the other white gem uncirculated. bust dollars in his collection. We'll never know, but it really does not matter, because the result is astonishing and quite pleasing…a wonderful brilliant specimen which shows off all the design details to best advantage. And if this coin had been toned darkly, we might not have been able to see how sharply struck it really is. The strike is superb. Every strand of Miss Liberty's hair is clearly defined as are all of the vertical and horizontal lines in the shield on reverse.Each arrow point and leaf vein is also amazingly clear. The surfaces are virtually immaculate and were it not for a few minor ticks on the bust, this specimen would be in a 65 holder. It may well be someday anyway. For diagnostic purposes, we'll mention a tiny natural planchet flaw as made just left of the arrow points. All in all, an important opportunity to acquire a coin worthy of the finest collection. For those who will be viewing lots, consider checking out this beauty even if you will not be a competitive bidder…as they just don't come along like this every day and it is lovely to behold.
