|
BU |
$3,500.00
|
Semi-reflective surfaces have a surplus of mint lustre gives this coin an attractive appearance. The strike is strong in most places with just some light weakness in the curl above the ear. A few very minuscule rim tics do not detract much. A very attractive type coin. |

1834 Crosslet 4

CH AU |
$15,000.00

Choice About Uncirculated and very close to full Mint State. Semi-reflective surfaces that have a pale green-gold patina. The strike is very good and adds further to this coin's aura.

CH BU |

Bright and lustrous throughout, with typical ancient orange-gold toning so rarely seen on early gold these days. The strike is sharp, particularly on Liberty's rounded curls.

Very Fine. Pale green-gold toning over surfaces that are respectable for the grade. The strike is typically weak in the central area on both sides. There are no major marks to impair the eye appeal of this very scarce date of which only 18,939 pieces were struck. |
