1818 -  O.110 R.4 PCGS MS 63 CAC

From the collection of Keith Davignon.  This important coin is generally considered the 2nd finest known of a distinctly rare die marriage.  It was discovered by Robert Zornes in an ICG MS 63 capsule sometime before 2005.  Zornes arranged a private sale to Charles “Chuck” De Olden.  It went unsold in my Aug. 2006 “Fabulous 44” sale of De Olden’s more important capped bust halves.  Davignon picked it up the following year.   Lightly toned with extravagant luster.  Essentially “as struck,” the coin offers rarity and eye appeal in a single package.  Est. $5,000 to $6,000.
