Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud and honored to have been selected to sell the FINEST KNOWN Sheldon -32 cent. This coin is a delight in every way to behold! This is a somewhat scarce variety, listed in the Breen Encyclopedia as Low R-3. Liberty's portrait and the details were very nicely punched into the dies, so when the S-32 was struck, it created a variety that was deemed "most beautiful" according to a poll of EAC members conducted by Darwin B. Palmer, Jr. in the March 15, 1981 edition of Penny-Wise. This handsome example was struck from Die State IV, with multiple major clashmarks, a bold die break on the reverse and a cud forming above LI. Despite these minting issues, the devices are fully struck up and wonderfully rendered. Beautifully, evenly toned in a medium brown hue that has a wonderful original gloss to the surfaces. As you rotate the coin in a light, some tinges of original orange-red is revealed, mostly relegated to the protected areas of the upper reverse design. Overall the surfaces are smooth and of very high end quality. Though there is some natural roughness to the copper planchet in front of Liberty's portrait, it is not at all obtrusive or distracting and does not have an effect on the SUPERB eye appeal that this classic GEM possesses! Taking a glass to the reverse and viewing the multitude of clashes and the sharp die break makes this GEM something very cool to look at, whether you are an advanced early copper collector or not.
