Description

1856 $1 MS62 NGC. This issue is rare in all grades, as most of the 63,500-piece mintage was apparently exported. Splashes of low intensity orange-gold, sea-green, and aqua-blue patina race over the obverse, while slightly deeper hues of the same color scheme cover the reverse. A well directed strike results in better-than-average detail, except for minor softness in the upper right stars. A few minute obverse contact marks define the grade. Census: 5 in 62, 5 finer (2/08).
