An enchanting example of a charismatic die pair. The featured die break continues through Liberty’s eye, curls, headband and into her cap – fulfilling everyone’s criteria for a bearded goddess. The original pale tan toning and surfaces are first rate. Luster flickers in protected areas, notably the stars and legend. For the assigned grade, the coin earns an unqualified “A” for eye appeal. It last appeared at auction in January 2018, lot 3644 in Heritage’s FUN sale of the Loma Linda Collection, bringing $8,100. I was the happy buyer, later passing it to the current consignor.
