Rarities

详细说明: 1793 Sheldon-2, Breen-2. Rarity-4+. Flowing Hair, Chain, AMERICA. VF-25 (PCGS). Finely corroded surfaces show a mot¬ tling of light and medium brown with some olive and rust-colored highlights. Extremely sharp, sharper than even the certified grade gives credit for, with bold detail in Liberty’s hair and profile and little appreciable wear on the always-stronger reverse. The only flaw this coin exhibits is its surface, which shows the sort of fine corrosion as¬ sociated with burial. Some gloss is retained, particularly at central re¬ verse, with the most heavy exposure to corrosive elements at the re¬ verse periphery. A tiny spot is noted below the date, and a touch of surface scale is present at OF. While this coin would be nicer with smooth, chocolate brown surfaces, the eye appeal is actually quite impressive and the sharpness is about as nice as one could ever want for this rarest collectible Chain variety. Bargain hunters can probably avoid this lot, as this combination of sharpness and visual appeal will surely bring out the competitors. F-15, sharpness ofVF-30 or better, fine corrosion. From the collection of William Walser. Previously from our sale of the John A. Van Arsdall and Antelope Valley Silver Dollar Collections, Janu¬ ary 1993, Lot 258.
