1819/8 Lg.9 -  O.106 R.4 PCGS AU 55 CAC

Ex Gehring Prouty/Keith Davignon/Charles Link.  Gehring found the coin in Heritage’s 1994 ANA Sale, lot 5360, where offered raw as “MS 60.”  Keith Davignon picked it up during my sale of the Prouty Collection at the 2000 Philadelphia ANA, later passing it to Charles Link (who sold it to the consignor).  Silver-grey toning is clearly original.  On the reverse, a toning streak runs across the lower right quadrant. The surfaces are immaculate.  Nice coin, great provenance!  This is the only R.4 among six 1819/8 Overton varieties.  Est. $1,500 to $2,000.
