1825 -  O.102 R.1 PCGS AU 58 CAC


Jaw-dropping eye appeal!  Formerly in the collections of Floyd Farley and Keith Davignon.  Ex MB 38, Jan. 2014, lot 53 and MB 25, June 2000, lot 116, where offered as a raw AU 58 and described thusly: Booming luster only begins to describe the vibrant appearance of this eye-catching coin.  Lightly toned, with a trace of cabinet friction on the cheek.  A strong double profile will intrigue some.  The surfaces are near gem quality.  Here is a showpiece bust half.  I failed to mention the immaculate surfaces and lovely gold toning imparted by Farley’s kraft envelope.  Farley purchased the coin in 1971 from “Sureck.”  Keith submitted the coin to NGC where it earned an MS 63 designation, then resubmitted it to PCGS.  The CAC sticker was sought by the current consignor.  Here is a “wow” coin with runaway potential.    Est. $1,500 to $2,500.
