Charlton Meyer wasn’t sure of the date he acquired this coin.  When I acquired his collection in 2008 I found a note stating, “Early 70s, Ivan Leaman.  $25.”  I chuckled.  The pioneer group of BHNC members did a lot of horse trading, often returning a favor with one of their own.  That may explain the price.  I sent the coin to PCGS.  AU 55 was the expected grade.  The consignor, impressed by the luster, early die state and sharp strike, acquired it during the Baltimore ANA in 2008.  

Estimate: $450 to $600
