Owner Comments:
When you are seeking to acquire a high grade example of a particular date you will occasionally come across ones that have a higher technical grade but not so much eye appeal on one side or the other. This example of the 1788 has a pleasing look on both obverse and reverse in terms of strike, lack of wear and toning, but in AU58 it is lower in grade than other examples in my collection.
From a Heritage Weekly World and Ancients Auction in September of 2021.
