Lot 1297 Click on photo for enlarged version Click on photo for enlarged version
1908. PCGS graded MS-65. The surfaces on this one are really nice for a change. Typically we see abraded fields and devices, not so here, all is fresh and clean, with a gentle overlay of copper tones. Seldom found in full gem condition, the first year of issue would make an excellent type coin or start of a date collection.
Estimated Value $1,800-2,000.
