A stunning example of the engraver’s faux pas. An upside down 3 is clearly seen inside loops of the 8. Sharply impressed devices, high rims, distinct dentils and gaudy luster justify NGC’s decision to overlook a touch of cabinet friction on Liberty’s cheek. We may be certain that the coin never saw circulation. Estimate: $1,650 to $2,000.
