1824/1 -  O.102 R.5+ PCGS VF 30 CAC

Last offered as a raw VF in 2007: MB 33, lot 140 @ $2,251.  There described -- Here is another often abused issue.  Why is it that so many 24-102s are both low grade and damaged?  This is a lovely exception.  The surfaces are smooth and the toning both natural and attractive.  We can do nothing about the worn dies.  This is a pearl for the collector who cannot afford gems but wants his rarities without problems.  Est. $2,000 to $3,000.
