An important type coin and trophy of early U.S. numismatics.


Dr. William Sheldon cataloged this coin in 1954 as "superb, flawless coin with original surface and not a trace of wear ... one of the three or four most perfect examples of the variety".


Of the Sheldon-5 die pairing, this is the finest business strike graded Mint State, while for accuracy we must mention the legendary Specimen-68 RD Atwater/Stellar example of the same die pairing.


Provenance:  1954 Anderson Dupont auction; 1998 Gene Reale Collection auction; 2000 Anthony Terranova private treaty; 2016 D. Brent Pogue auction.
