Description
1859 XF 45. A perfect example of both the date and the grade, with nice detailing, ample, original luster, good eye appeal, well-preserved surfaces and a hint of milky toning on both sides. Like the 1854, this date has relatively few survivors compared to its mintage figure. Apparently, many of this date were also shipped to China, where they were destroyed by converting them into bullion. While we may be shocked at such a disregard for what today are rare coins, we need only to look at our recent past, when all sorts of common and rare numismatic items, silver sets, religious utensils, and museum artifacts were destroyed in the great silver melt of the early 1980s. Who knows what rarities we may have created?
