One of the Finest Known 1926-S Dollars--Ex: Jack Lee

1926-S MS 66 PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. Very sharply struck, all the feathers are present on the lowest row of the eagle's wing. The sharpness of strike and the smooth, virtually unblemished surfaces combine to make this a virtually unimprovable '26-S dollar--a tribute to the good taste of both Jack Lee and the assembler of the Emperor Norton Collection. Rather than being strictly brilliant, the surfaces have a light haze of gray patina, more noticeable on the obverse, and a hint of pale olive-golden seen here and there. This light patination in no way obscures the dazzling mint brilliance that lays just beneath this thin film interference. From the Emperor Norton Collection and accompanied by a Classic Photo Proof. Population: 13 in 66, only 1 finer (12/97).
