Acquiring the first two dates of the Pillar coinage has always represented a considerable challenge for collectors, both because of the prestige these issues command and the difficulty of finding examples and subsequently upgrading them in any denomination.
Here we offer an interesting opportunity for collectors wishing to take their first step into the world of these rarities, crossing that threshold with a relatively affordable example that is, above all, free from damage.
The coin displays a subtle patina, more pronounced in the fields, creating an attractive contrast that enhances its overall eye appeal.
Current population reports record just 11 examples of this variety at NGC and only 3 at PCGS, highlighting its considerable scarcity among the examples certified by the two leading grading services.
