1832 Lg. Letters -  O.101 R.1 PCGS AU 58 CAC

A longstanding Red Book variety.  The die pair is common, even in higher grades.  This example, however, is a cut above the usual “choice AU.”  Make that 2 cuts above!  Or 3.  Caky luster is ensconced in a blanket of original, antique grey toning.  A connoisseur’s delight!  Without the rub on Liberty’s cheek, the coin would jump to MS 63 or better.  A PQ coin that will take a PQ bid to bring home.  From Heritage’s March 2016 sale, lot 3959.   Estimate: $1,000 to $1,500
