1811/10 Punctuated Date - O.101 R.1 CAC MS 63
The sharply impressed centers are without a hint of friction. Luster rolls undisturbed across the fields and devices. Pale amber toning boosts the eye-appeal. Under my halogen light I see flashes of iridescent aqua and gold. It may be nitpicking to note weak dentils and soft left-hand stars. This coin brought $10,800 in Stack’s/Bower’s March 2021 sale (lot 4086) and $9,988 when offered in the Rarities section of Stack’s/Bowers/Sotheby’s February 2016 sale (lot 127, part of the renowned Richard Jewell Collection). Who were the stewards of this pristine coin over the past 200+ years? I wish we knew. Estimate: $7,500 to $9,500
