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.

Nickels-Buffalo
A sensational proof type coin, the quality is exactly on par with what one expects of a superb-gem: glassy fields, a mere whisper of cameo effect, and pristine nickel-bright surfaces that have taken on only a hint of yellowish patina. A strike of incomparable sharpness predominates, as the cataloger found absolutely zero weak areas within the surgically precise design elements. If one wishes to be picky, a specific lighting angle can reveal a baby's breath fingerprint within the reverse far left field.
