181.7 Punctuated Date - O.103 R.2 PCGS AU 55
The versicolored obverse is as pretty as the photo suggests. The reverse toning is more subtle. Both sides are blessed with cartwheel luster. Smooth surfaces befit the grade. High grade examples of this Red Book variety are in high demand, chased by date, die variety and – especially – PCGS Registry Set collectors. Scorzafava found the coin some years ago in the bourse case of Phil and Ray Hinkelman. Estimate: $3,500 to $4,500
