Lot Number 77

A lustrous example of this Red Book staple.  Silver toning, with a swath of russet on the reverse.  Rarely seen adjustment marks (or are they planchet striations?) cross the weakly struck arrow tips and end of the legend.  A fascinating remnant of the early mint: engraver’s error + extensive clash marks + grossly worn dies + a planchet anomaly.  You have to love this coin – and its history!  

Estimate: $1,800 to $2,500
