1827 Curl 2 - O.147 R.4 PCGS AU 58
Lightly toned, the reverse with a blush of amber. A new reverse die is married to the obverse that produced the two preceding lots. The marriage was not long-lived, creating a challenge for Overton collectors. Soft rims, drawn stars and a rather blunt portrait are products of the worn obverse die. We are left with few eye appealing examples. Here is a coveted exception. Strong luster and smooth surfaces will attract those chasing both Red Book and die varieties of 1827. Keith Davignon’s PCGS AU 58 yielded $3,275 in my last auction, MB 45, lot 31, Aug. 2017. Est. $2,000 to $2,500.
