Lot 339
1859-O. NGC graded MS-65. Fully white coin. Boldly struck. A sparkling coin bursting with luster, gently toned and otherwise white in appearance. The surfaces are clear of marks though we do see a minor scuff in the field by stars 2 and 3. There is a die break from the rim above Liberty’s head, crossing her top hair to the 8th star, across the tip of the cap, and on to the rim above star 9. Taking stock of another key aspect of the grade, this piece has knife-edged devices throughout, including all stars, centers, and rather than a soft, mushy strike as sometimes seen, a full wreath. Pop 19; 15 finer, 11 in 66, 3 in 67, 1 in 68.
Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.
