Description

1842 MS 65. A "pearl of the first water" (as at least one numismatic cataloger described coins in the past). This boldly struck gem has razor-sharp details, and satiny smooth surfaces. Struck from lightly clashed dies, with evidence of the date visible on the reverse below TES of STATES. Beautifully colored in deep, sea-green, and lilac shades, with an iridescence which is without equal. In terms of overall eye appeal, this piece is superb. Purchased by the consignor, David M. Faraday, from Bill Mitkoff on 9/23/72 for $85.
