Description

1868 AU 50. The rarity of this date in high grades is expressed best by the PCGS Population Report, which indicates that only a single mint state piece (a lone MS 60) has been graded so far (4/94). Contrary to conventional wisdom, most of the circulated examples hover in the AU area. Because of this date's low mintage of only 98,600 pieces, the 1868 commands a premium of around three to four times in AU.
