Description

  • silver
An exceptionally well-preserved example, lustrous, with some light mottling. Slight weakness above Liberty’s ear, and a toning spot in her hair; a miniscule mark runs along Liberty’s eyebrow, but otherwise remarkably free of the bagmarks which seem to plague this emission. Wayne Miller noted: “Many pieces have unsightly scrapes and deep lacerations, which seem particularly noticeable on the obverse. Gems with minimum abrasions are worth a significant premium.” Particularly rare in this grade.
