Owner's Description

F-101, ex-Eliasberg. I don't know what qualifies a coin to be given a grade of MS-69, after all MS-68s have to be picture perfect. But I do know there is a serenity about this coin, a completeness, a wholeness which is mesmerizing to look at. It has to stem from the incredibly smooth unmarked fields undifferentiated in any way over the whole surface of the coin. An all-time all-star with a pedigree stretching back to the Stickney collection in the 1880's. What a wonder. What a work of art. Bought from a Bowers sale, April, 2005, lot 403.
