The only defect is a tiny nick in the field under the tip of the chin. Sharply struck and nicely centered on a problem-free planchet. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal of this piece is outstanding. Late die state, Manley state 3.0, with a rim cud in the dentils just left of the fraction. EAC grade MS60 and tied for second finest known honors. Tied for finest in the Noyes census, his photo #58147. Comes with a very important pedigree for half cent collectors, and the Eliasberg/Hesselgesser portion of that provenance is noted on the PCGS label. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;20,000-40,000. <I><BR>Ex F.
