1831 -  O.103 R.1 PCGS MS 62

Pale russet encases most stars.  Otherwise untoned with fiery luster.  The surfaces approach MS 63 quality.  I wonder if PCGS was misled by the familiar group of 3 dots in the obverse field.  They are, of course, from the ejection mechanism associated with the screw press.  This is a heck of an MS 62.  Well struck to boot.  From the Cape Cod Collection.  Est. $1,300 to $1,800.
