1827 - O.116 R.4+ PCGS AU 53
A very tough die pair, from the collection of Tim Osborne. It last appeared in MB 23, Feb. 1999, lot 220: Original! The dusty grey centers are surrounded with colorful, iridescent album toning. Soft luster throughout. The strike is even, though on the soft side. Surface blemishes, if any, are hidden by the toning. I do note a couple of scrapes in the reverse field, under um of the motto. This important coin belongs in an important collection. Allow me to emphasize the opening word from 17 years ago – ORIGINAL. You will love the antique toning, likely imparted by a Wayte Raymond album. Est. $1000 to $1,500.
