1832 Sm. Lets., No Tail Feathers - O.120a R.3 PCGS AU 55

A shroud of gold encases the coin, the obverse framed by a circle of electric blue. Nearly full cartwheel luster contributes to the eye-appeal. Aggressive lapping of the reverse die removed the eagle’s tail feathers. The obverse die is twice bisected by horizontal cracks. This die pair makes for lively discussion among those with interest in our early coinage. Last offered in Stack’s/Bowers March 2020 Baltimore sale, lot 21785, bringing $384, a belated Christmas present for the buyer. Estimate: $400 to $600
