1807 Sm. Stars - O.113a R.2 PCGS AU 55
Keith Davignon’s set piece since he acquired it in June 1994 (via your cataloguer) from my great friend, Dr. Gerald “Jerry” Schertz. This is a lovely coin, sparkling with even, pastel gold toning and soft luster. The strike is distinctly better than most from this coveted die pair. Note, especially, the high rims and well-defined dentils. A short scrape, right of the date, under the lowest curls will earmark the coin for generations to come. It has no other consequence. Recent auction records for the Small Stars variety in nice AU are scanty and scary! This is a trophy coin. Bid accordingly. Est. $5,000 to $10,000.
