Lot Number 25

The O.107a is forever linked to the “platina” 1814 J. 44 patterns, struck in platinum (2 or 3 known). This is the die state found on that rarity.  This light grey example oozes luster.  The strike, of course, is mushy.  No other complaints.   If you collect die states this is one to chase.  From the collection of Henry Hilgard, earlier in the collections of Charles Link and Tim Osborne.  Henry’s insert accompanies the lot, noting his date of acquisition, Jan. 11 2013.  Est. $500 to $900.
