Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

Key factors affecting condition include:

1. Strike quality: Well-struck coins with full detail on Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers are more desirable.
2. Luster: Coins with original mint luster are highly prized.
3. Surface preservation: Minimal contact marks or abrasions increase value.
