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.
