Lot 1408
1854. PCGS graded AU-53 PQ. CAC Approved. Nice golden toning. Choice for the given grade. Explains Breen: "Only the one date 1854 (from all mints) has small letters in DOLLARS; others 1855-89 have large DOLLARS, making two types in all for this denomination. Oddly, the die used for 1856 proofs shows large DOLLARS superimposed on small DOLLARS. Evidently it received a blow from each hub in fall 1854 but was withheld as a closet skeleton, resurrected, dated, and repolished later for proof use without further inspection." (PCGS # 7969) .
Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400.
