<B>1850<G$1> MS66 PCGS.</B></I> Ex: H.W. Bass Jr. Collection. We are pleased to offer this exceptionally high grade example of this popular type coin. Quoting from the Bowers and Merena catalog <I>The Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection, Part II,</B></I> this coin was described as, "Superb frosty yellow gold lustre. Slightly weak on the very highest points of Miss Liberty's hair, otherwise quite sharply defined. This is a relatively common date, however, of much finer quality than normally seen. A delightful gem for the date or type collector."<BR> Excerpts from Bass's personal notes on this coin go on to describe it as, "Faint die polish lines are noted on both obverse and reverse, this probably from relapping or resurfacing the dies. The aspect of the die striae and polish lines have been very lightly treated in numismatic literature, and yet is interesting and one of the keys to effective study of Mint procedures. Thus, here and there throughout the Bass Collection listings, we make note of such features. The reverse has a very thin bisecting crack from the border at 4:00 through CA, right branch, ribbon bow, left branch, and I of UNITED, not quite reaching the border at 8:30. Some missing or attenuated design details suggest this reverse die has been lapped."<BR> Population: 1 in 66, 2 finer (3/04). <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
