Description

NGC 1866 AU 58. Very rare in all grades, the '66-P is a distinctly rare item in AU condition. This is the finest coin certified by either of the major services and is only weakly challenged by three mint state coins that were cataloged as such in auctions from many years past (Miles 1968, WGC 1946, and Bell 1944). Sharply struck throughout, the surfaces are bright and retain much original luster. There are a few tiny abrasions scattered about, but none that one could cite as identifiers for pedigree purposes.
