Hoosier Collection
1868-S

Owner Comments:

CAC approved. Ex: Jim Gray Carolina Collection. By the time the majority of numismatists took notice of this issue, most of the 96,000 pieces produced had passed into history alongside the frontier upon which they saw commercial use. The present example is certainly one of the few survivors that retains most or all of the original finish. The texture is satiny in sheen, and the virtually untoned centers are framed by warm champagne, gold, and cobalt-blue shadings. The striking detail is sharp throughout, and there is a noteworthy lack of distracting abrasions on both sides.
