- Attractive and near-Mint in every respect. Satiny luster blankets the surfaces, yielding only faintly across the highest points. A few minor bagmarks are noted in the fields but the overall complexion remains nicely composed. Just 251,850 examples were struck and a sizeable portion of these were sent overseas at a later time. Many high grade EF and AU pieces, along with some Mint State coins, have since found their way back to America beginning with the efforts of Paul Wittlin and James F. Kelly in the 1950s. The 1872 still remains a challenging issue and this Premium AU piece is sure to attract attention.
