Description

1869 AU 58. Deeply prooflike, the coin meets all the diagnostic criteria for a business strike as set forth in Breen (1988). The 1869 is a very rare and highly respected date of which only 1,830 business strikes were produced. It is almost never seen any finer than XF, and few examples are known even in that grade. This piece appears to be the second finest known specimen of this rare issue. This is a well struck piece that shows a number of small field marks, none of which merit individual mention. For the advanced collector of this long and interesting gold series.
