1810 -  O.102 R.1 PCGS AU 58 CAC


This stunning coin is unlike any other O.102 I’ve seen.  Allow me to quote its owner, Keith Davignon, a man not prone to hyperbole: “The holy grail” of strikes!  Nearly complete left wing on a 102!!  I searched over 20 years to find a 102 with decent feather detail on left wing.  This coin has [semi] proof-like, razor sharp obverse detail.  [The] scroll on reverse has texture like tree bark.  Keith omits mention of unbroken, blinding luster.  A whisper of friction on the cheek requires direct light and a dose of imagination to detect.  Purchased from Acropolis Coins in an NGC MS 61 holder at the 2008 Baltimore ANA Convention. [NGC label accompanies.]  Est. $4,000 and up.
