Lot 1624
1860-D. PCGS graded AU-55. Here is a very rare coin in nearly Mint State condition. The surfaces are clean for the grade, save for two identifying marks, one on Liberty's nose, the other on the 6 of the date. Lustrous fields and with the typical strike for the issue. As always, the U is weak, but the fields don't show the usual clash marks. Only a dozen or so graded higher, with about a dozen in the grade according to a recent PCGS census, making this one of the best available. Mintages plummeted to 1,566 as the nation sank into war, with the Dahlonega Mint feeling the conflict early on. Rare and desirable!
