Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Frosty silver surfaces host a light mist of crust on both sides. Nicely struck, with most of the claw joints clearly separated. In this case, the weak date and softer texture within Liberty’s gown are a function of die wear, as opposed to suboptimal strike pressure. Bugert notes only two obverse dies for the issue, which equates to more than a half a million strikes per die, an extremely high ratio among Liberty Seated issues. Nonetheless, the luster is all there for the grade, and this is an original, pleasing example. WB-1, with a weak date and small mintmark. CAC notes 25 coins total, one piece in MS62 (this coin), and six examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $4,650. Ex. GFRC (January 2020) at $3,700. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6329. December 1969
