1811 Sm. 8 -  O.110a R.1 PCGS AU 58 CAC

A wisp of friction on Liberty’s chin kept this magnificent 1811 from a mint state designation.  Pay attention to the detail in Liberty’s curls, the folds in her cap and the drapery lines.  Remarkable!  The coin is untoned with extravagant luster.  CAC is fussy when asked to sticker “white” coins.  The eye appeal of this early date was simply irresistible.  Est. $2,500 to $3,500.
