1817/3 - O.101a R.2 PCGS AU 55 CAC
Ex Don Frederick, last offered during the 2016 ANA Convention, MB 43, lot 27, where it brought $5,170. The winning bidder recently captured an UNC 1817/3 and graciously consigned this glorious piece to the current sale. Here is the description from MB 43: From the Don Frederick Collection, noted on the PCGS label. Frederick had several examples of this overdate. This was his favorite, holding forth as his set-piece. Scandalous original toning features electric shades of turquoise, blue, gold, copper and antique grey. This is “wow” coin for eye appeal. The undisturbed surfaces are essentially without flaws. It took $3,737 to bring it home in April 2010. (Heritage Central States sale, lot 2974.) It will cost more today – and be well worth it! Est. $4,500 to $5,500.
