1833 - O.111 R.4+ PCGS AU 58
The halo of gold and turquoise toning suggests storage in a Wayte Raymond holder. Bold luster throughout. A hint of friction on the tip of the bust. The O.111 die pair is very, very scarce, 2nd to the R.5 O.115 for this year. This is a first rate example. Check your AMBPR to confirm the paucity of high grade pieces. Don Frederick’s PCGS AU 55 brought $2,300 fourteen years ago. The PCGS AU 55 CAC in my August 2023 MB 56 (lot 79) finally settled at $2,915. This is the finest example to appear at auction in more than 15 years. From the Davignon Collection via Dave Kahn, August 2011.
Estimate: $3,000 to $3,500
