Description
PCGS 1859-S XF 40. This is a date that Akers compares to the 1858 in overall rarity. In his auction survey done some years ago, he ranked the '59-S near the top of the series in rarity according to frequency of appearance at auction and also in rarity according to average grade. The finest example we know of is a single AU coin certified by NGC. This is a condition rarity even in XF with Breen calling coins in this grade "prohibitively rare." There is a small concentration of bagmarks in the lower obverse field that provide the only real distractions on this otherwise lovely and original coin. The surfaces have taken on a deep rose tinted patina that is most appealing. Trends $7000 (1/25).
