Owner's Description

An incredible rarity in mint state, and along with the 1874-CC the key to the set. There are three coins of tis date which rival for the top of the condition census. There is this coin from the James A. Stack collection, and one other graded MS-65 by NGC. And there is one coin graded MS-64 by PCGS. One of the other two has to be the Bolen coin auctioned by Stack's in 1995. There currently is no auction record for the third. As fine as this coin is I might give the edge to the Bolen coin as it was pictured in that catalogue.The present coin is more heavily toned while the other is lighter and more evenly toned. Both are very well struck. Bought from a Bowers and Merena auction, March 2005, lot 443.
