1826 -  O.114 R.4 PCGS AU 55

Here is a seriously scarce R.4 die marriage.  Splendid antique grey toning, flooded with underlying luster.  Unquestionably nicer than either of Don Frederick’s pair of AUs, offered by Heritage in 2010.  This is a tough die pair in all grades; the opportunity to acquire an AU example demands consideration.  Scorzafava prevailed at $1,045 when the coin appeared in MB 46, lot 56, January 2018.  Estimate: $1,000 to $1,400
