1828 Sm.8, Lg. Lets - O.115 R.2 PCGS MS 64
From the Davignon collection. Last appearing in MB 36, my 2012 ANA Sale. Lot 51 brought $3,532 and was described as follows. The epitome of ‘grey dirt’ and 100% original. The stewards of this coin for the past 184 years deserve a bow. Aside from the protective grey patina it remains as struck. Cakey, undisturbed luster rolls beneath the toning. There are virtually no handling marks. The strike is first rate. Here is a coin without faults, looking forward to continued repose in an advanced collection. I repeat – original! Est. $3,200 to $4,000.
