1818/7 Small 8 -  O.102a R.2 PCGS MS 61

An original crust of antique grey and gold toning cavorts with iridescent flashes of aqua and crimson through the stars and legend.  This is a connoisseur’s coin, with full, caky luster.  The sole impediments, denying the coin a choice uncirculated designation, are remnants of adjustment marks at the tip of Liberty’s bust, extending into the dentils.  Exceptional eye-appeal for an “MS 61.”  The coin brought $6,600 when Stack’s/Bowers offered it in April 2022, lot 2095.   Estimate: $4,800 to $5,500
