1853 G$1 MS68 PCGS. A truly captivating
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1853 G$1 MS68 PCGS. A truly captivating example of the issue as well as the type, both sides are awash in scintillating frosty luster. The color is a rich orange-gold shade with suggestions of even more vivid reddish-gold overtones here and there. A couple of tiny swirls of slightly deeper color are noted in the obverse field before, above, and below Liberty's portrait. There is not a single bothersome handling mark, but several interesting obverse die cracks are evident at the left border and along the truncation of Liberty's neck. Striations in several areas of the reverse field and faint clashmarks at the back of Liberty's head can be seen under a loupe. The eye appeal and technical quality of this coin are equally difficult to surpass. Population: 1 in 68, 3 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. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
