1817/3 -  O.101 R.2 PCGS AU 55


Extremely early die state, rare as such.  The coin is free of die breaks and lumps, with the overdate as bold as it gets.  The reverse, usually seen with notable weakness, is impressive on two counts: 1. the motto, eagle’s head and wing feathers are fully struck; and 2. the surfaces are distinctly prooflike.  A veil of gold toning encases the coin.  Luster dances under the patina.  There will be a battle for this important coin.  Estimate: $3,500 to $4,500.
