Lot 1478
1855. PCGS graded MS-62. Even greenish-golden color on both sides. Only 50,555 struck and a far cry from the first year's mintage. This is a very pleasing gold specimen with soft-gold mint bloom, more than adequately struck and preserved virtually flaw-free. Normal detail on all devices is typical for this issue; with present specimen we see a sharp areas in the feathers bounded by a few regions where the crisp strike recedes to minor rounding on the top feather puffs, the lower hair curls, as well as the ribbon bow binding together the two halves of Longacre's Wreath of Cereals. Pop 61; 77 finer (PCGS # 7972) .
Estimated Value $3,200 - 3,400.
