1832 Sm. Lets. - O.118 R.1 PCGS OGH AU 58
Intense luster enlivens the vivid and colorful toning. I note iridescent shades of rose and cobalt among other rainbow hues. This is a classic AU 58: uncirculated but for friction on Liberty’s cheek. From Alpine Numismatics in March 1997. Overton referred to this as the laced-lips variety. A short, vertical die line runs from Liberty’s upper lip to chin. It is readily seen on high grade coins. Estimate: $900 to $1,200
