Ex Don Frederick.Don Frederick began collecting bust halves in the 1960s. He was a cherry picker extraordinaire. The `34-119 is the toughest die marriage of the year. He touted his coin as the finest known of the die pair. One other PCGS graded MS 64 exists, ex Dr. Charles Link. No matter. Heritage offered this coin, from “The Bayside [Frederick] Collection,” in its February 2018 Long Beach sale, lot 4680. There can be no quarrel with the description, “Smooth surfaces are awash in soft mint luster and feature daubs of golden-russet and gunmetal patina.” I foresee robust competition for this treasure. Estimate: $2,750 and up.
