Considered a common date, despite a mintage of only 56,500 - try that with any more popular (and actually far more common) 20th Century series such as Lincoln Cents! Such is the lot of the “Little Half Sisters”, considered mainly a Type coin. This is an attractive original coin typical of those put aside in the mid to late 1850’s as the series was retired, as an example of the vanished breed. Some well hidden, very wispy “hairlines” in the field in front of Liberty’s face, not from a cleaning but due to random non-numismatic storage. This also produced the slightly uneven Obverse color. Still shows a patch of original Red surface right at 12:00 on the Obverse, otherwise a mostly medium Chocolate Brown. Based upon past experience, this is equivalent to what will typically certify MS-61 or 62.
