Owner's Comments

CAC approved. N1; R1. Attrition not on slab. Grellman Die State b, the die cracks not far advanced. Bold peach and rose overtones grace textured medium-brown surfaces that have been carefully preserved. CAC by me. Cool old fingerprint on the reverse--could have been Lincoln's.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
