TOP POP 1/0...This exceptional coin, nearly Mint State, stands as the finest known example of this sought-after Guide Book variety certified by PCGS. Its surfaces, blessed by delicate champagne-pink and powder-blue iridescence, retain nearly full mint luster. The strike is perfectly centered, with sharp design details and uniformly denticulated borders, showing only slight friction on the high points that defines its AU-58 grade. No significant marks or blemishes detract from its outstanding technical quality or visual appeal.
The coin exhibits BB Die State II, a near-terminal state with extensive obverse die cracks. The 15-star reverse is a captivating numismatic tale. During engraving, the die maker mistakenly added extra stars to the top and middle rows, resulting in 15 stars instead of the intended 13. To correct this error without discarding the costly die, the engraver cleverly extended two clouds to cover parts of the extra stars along the eagle’s wings, creating a distinctive and cherished variety in the early dollar series. This coin is the only example of its variety graded AU-58 by PCGS, making it a true standout for collectors.
