I purchased this coin, described as “Choice Brilliant Uncirculated,” at Stack’s 67th Anniversary Sale of David Queller’s collection in October 2002. (The Queller auction tag accompanies the lot.) Steve Nomura added the coin to his magnificent collection at the ensuing 2003 FUN Show. Steve consigned it to my Aug. 2013 Chicago ANA Mail Bid Sale 37, lot 14, where it brought $3,080. It appeared again in MB 43, lot 22, at the August 2016 Anaheim ANA show, where Scorzafava acquired it for $3,300. The coin is lovely. The lustrous surfaces are encased in a gossamer blanket of pastel gold toning. Luster breaks are confined to Liberty’s cheek, breast and the tips of a few wing feathers. Estimate: $2,750 to $3,500
