Lot Description

Noyes Die State B/A. Plenty of vivid pinkish-orange color remains on both sides of this premium quality near-Gem example. The surfaces are attractively toned in light steel-brown. Lustrous with a delightful frosty texture, we note an overall pristine appearance with just a few wispy handling marks over and before Liberty's portrait precluding an even higher grade from PCGS. The strike is sharp to full over virtually all design elements; a touch of softness to stars 1 and 2 on the obverse is hardly worth mentioning. The reverse is rotated approximately 45 degrees clockwise from normal coin alignment. Attractive in all regards, this significant near-Gem Mint State specimen is tied for CC#2 for the 1834 N-3 dies in the Noyes census.
