Lot #870 - 1799 PCGS G-4
Large Cents-Draped Bust
Elm Then Almond Collection. Sheldon-189, a famously near-impossible key date to get straight-graded at any major grading service. Contrary to many low-grade pieces that have either a weak date or LIBERTY, this example features a nicely bold date, and LIBERTY has partial weakness only at the upper third of each letter. The coin was struck off of early dies, showing a small die chip between "E" of ONE and "T" of CENT -- a worthy diagnostic as to authenticity. An amazingly nice surface for the grade given the utter lack of environmental effects aside from normal circulation.

Only two MS-66 by NGC, none higher. A brilliant, blazing and somewhat semi-prooflike reverse sees a pleasing, thin ring of album toning. Meanwhile, considerable autumn-gold layers the entire obverse save the rims, where a brilliant thin ring of emerald-cobalt and sky blue encircle the peripheral legends. A very well struck 7/4TF silver dollar.
