1813 - O.106 R.3 PCGS MS 63 CAC
Swirls of silver and pewter grey are of ancient origin, signaling an original coin. CAC agreed. Cartwheel luster rolls under the toning. Well struck for the issue. Weakness is confined to the lowest drapery lines and corresponding portion of the motto. Inexplicably, mint state survivors from 1813 are more difficult to find than those from 1811 and 1812. From Stack’s/Bowers’ sale of the Abigail Collection, April 2022, lot 2091, bringing $7,800 against PCGS’s current suggested retail value of $7,750.
Estimate: $6,000 to $7,000
