1818/7 Small 8

Owner Comments:

O.102 Eliasberg. Per Goldberg cataloger, "Nice original greyish-violet toning on both sides. A superior specimen of this variety, likely of Condition Census quality and simply beautiful to behold. Exceptionally lustrous and exhibiting original toning. The cheek of Liberty is a bit softly struck but most of the obverse and all of the reverse is very sharply defined. The fields are free of significant marks, and just a tiny natural planchet flaw right of star 4 is noted as an identifier. This is likely a Condition Census quality piece (in other words one of the best six examples of this die variety known), and anyone who sees it will agree that it is a very pretty and well-preserved coin." Obtained from Goldeberg Auction on 9/20/2010. Previously in Sheridan Downey Mail Bid Sale, July 31, 2002, Lot 11 [DNS]; Eliasberg Sale, Bower and Merena, April, 1997, Lot 1747.
