1809 XXX Edge - O.101 R.5 NGC AU 53

The `09-101 gets my vote as the toughest die pair of the year. OK, maybe it’s because I’ve never cherried an example. High grade examples are supremely rare. NGC may have been generous in conferring an AU designation. I’d prefer more luster. Perhaps the medium to dark grey toning is at fault, shielding our eyes from hidden splendor. The surfaces are generally smooth, just a few ticks from handling or circulation. Treat this rarity as a very choice XF; you won’t be disappointed. Competition is guaranteed! Estimate: $3,000 and up
