Description
1857 MS 65. It is impossible to convey the gorgeous eye appeal of this piece in mere words. Were it not for a few tiny marks in the fields, this coin would easily make the MS 66 (or better) grade, based just on its color and appearance alone. It only takes a second for the viewer to reach the same conclusion that we have--this is a stunning coin which will surely excite even the most jaded collector. The obverse is toned in an iridescent sea-green color, while the reverse has more of a lilac cast. A bold, swirling, cartwheel luster emanates from both sides of this coin, even in low light. Both sides are exceptionally well struck. Simply put, this coin is a beauty. Purchased by the consignor, Mr. Faraday, from J.J. Teaparty at the 1975 ANA for $550, an absolute bargain by today's standards!
