Description
Rare Second Offering for the Elusive 1852 Wass, Molitor & Co. $5
1852 Wass, Molitor & Co. $5. K-2. Rarity-6+. Large Head. VF-25 (PCGS).
A surprise second offering for an issue that usually only appears in our sales once in a very long while. This second example is also a desirable VF coin, the surfaces displaying deep olive color with warmer honey-gold overtones. Central detail is soft due to both striking deficiencies and wear, although there is some sharp definition in the recesses, and the overall design remains fully appreciable. Wispy hairlines and a curiously glossy texture point to an old cleaning, and a shallow scuff in the upper reverse field is also noted for accuracy. With only about a dozen specimens in private hands, any offering for this variety deserves serious consideration from specialists and is worthy of strong bids.
PCGS# 10342. NGC ID: ANJL.
PCGS Population: 2; 8 finer, just one of which is Mint State (MS-60).
