Owner's Description

The 1862 has an original mintage of 4,430 of which 60-70 are known, mostly in the EF40 to AU50 range. This example is very lustrous with light wear which is limited to the high spots of the obverse. The fields show some scattered marks which is typical for this issue; the most noticeable rest in the right obverse field. Die polish marks are clearly visible in the protected areas on the obverse, running from 11 to 5. The color is a nice natural rose and light yellow-gold and the strike is excellent.
