Description

1876 T$1 MS66 NGC. Type One Obverse and Reverse. Although the Type One Reverse is the scarcer subtype for the issue, this coin's exceptional level of preservation is its claim to fame. The strike is razor-sharp throughout, and the surfaces are exceptionally lustrous and well preserved. Although many numismatists would refer to the present coin as brilliant, the margins offer delicate golden patina. It would be hard to imagine a finer example. Many letters in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA exhibit defective serifs, as made. Census: 4 in 66, 0 finer (3/09).
