1812/1 Small 8 -  O.102a R.2 PCGS MS 61

Ex Dale Friend   Fresh, glittering luster illuminates this gorgeous overdate.  Eye-appeal was Dale Friend’s watchword.  No exception here, despite the modest (for a “Friend” coin) PCGS grade.  Splashes of light gold toning accent the predominantly white surfaces.  Great strike for the marriage, with sharply impressed devices.   PCGS was a bit harsh with this one; it could easily be in a 62 holder.   Estimate: $3,750 to $4,500
