1827 Sq. Base 2 -  O.115 R.3 PCGS AU 55 CAC

Ex John Torres.   Treat this fabulous coin as a choice AU 58 or you won’t see the finish line.  I’ve no idea what PCGS was thinking or why CAC did not apply a gold sticker.  The coin is richly toned with full, caky luster.  A trace of friction may be seen on the cheek with your loupe and a dash of imagination.  If the coin were “raw” I’d grade it 58 out of fright but hope for Mint State at the grading services.  John Torres added it to his die variety collection in December 2013.   Estimate: $1,000 to $1,500
