1809 - O.103 R.1 PCGS AU 58 CAC

Ex Charles De Olden. A stunning 1809 with a whisper of friction on Liberty’s cheek. Deep, frosty luster is a match for choice uncirculated bust halves. The crust of antique grey toning, tinged with pale gold, bespeaks originality. Note, especially, the well struck left wing – a rarity for this die pair. A short drift mark behind the eagle’s head is mint made. Refining techniques of the early 19th Century Mint were uncertain. Acquired April 30, 2001 from MB 26, lot 223 as NGC MS 61. The NGC label accompanies this lot. Est. $3,250 to $4,000.
