1818 Disc. Coin - O.110 R.4 PCGS AU Details
From the Dr. Charles Link collection; earlier in the Charlton Meyer collection. The PCGS label notes the “Meyer-Link” provenance. Link acquired the piece in Aug. 2009 when offered as lot 16 in MB 34 (selections from the Meyer collection). The coin has AU details. A net grade would be XF 45 because of hairlined surfaces. The coin is untoned with a few signs of circulation, nothing worth mention. Floyd Farley identified and described this scarce die pair after it appeared in a Feb. 1968 RARCOA sale. His BHNC clubmates dutifully labeled the variety 1818 FF.1 – appending Farley’s initials to honor his discovery. The variety became O.110 when Al Overton issued his 2nd edition in 1970, rating it R.6. This is the third appearance of the coin in my auctions. Meyer acquired it 1997 from MB 19 where it appeared as lot 9. Est. $700 to $1,000.
