Lot 1811
1846. Large Date. NGC graded MS-64. Boldly struck with semi-reflective fields. A thin bisecting die crack runs from the rim across the wing to the opposite rim as it passes across the D in the denomination. Highly lustrous bright golden color with moderate prooflike reflectivity on both sides. Considerably more rare in Mint State than its generous mintage of 395,942 pieces would lead one to suppose. Most known specimens are Very Fine to Extremely Fine, and did their duty in circulation, to which can be added a relative scattering of About Uncirculated pieces. The present coin, graded MS64, stands near the upper end in quality among pieces of which we are aware. This is one of the finest pieces we have auctioned in and for many collectors, may represent a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bid. Pop 4; 2 finer in 64 Star (PCGS # 8226) .
Estimated Value $13,000 - 14,000.
