1807 50/20 - O.112 R.1 PCGS AU 58 CAC
Ex Gehring Prouty. Dazzling luster showcases the exceptionally strong strike on this early die state. The obverse is lightly toned while the reverse features alluring shades of iridescent gunmetal blue/grey. A truly choice example, worthy of a first-rate date or type set. This was Lot 2 in my June 2001 MB Sale No. 26. The coin was withdrawn when it mysteriously disappeared before the auction closed. Keith Davignon was at the ready when I located the coin and offered it for private sale. Prouty acquired the coin at Stack’s October 1991 Alto II, Part 1 auction sale, lot 766 @ $2,750. Est. $5,000 to $6,000
