1829 -  O.109a R.4+ PCGS AU 58 CAC

As bright and lustrous as the day it departed the coining chamber.  Minimal signs of handling with a whisper of rub on the cheek.  Probably deserves a + designation.  Minor striking weakness in the central devices but better than most of the issue.  Easily a “top-10” coin, perhaps in the top-5.  This is the coin’s first appearance at auction.  Dave Kahn discovered it and sold it to Scorzafava in a private transaction.   Estimate: $1,800 to $2,500
