1873 T$1 PR63 PCGS. The iridescent aquamarine reverse field cedes to lightly frosted legends and devices. The obverse offers peripheral lemon, rose, and sky-blue toning. This scarce first-year specimen is nicely struck, since incompleteness is only apparent on the eagle's right (facing) leg. Faint criss-cross lines near Liberty's waist were likely on the planchet preceding the strike. Population: 52 in 63 (1 in 63+), 37 finer (10/16).
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/2006), lot 1145.
