1811/10 - O.101 R.1 PCGS MS 62
Ex Richard Graham and Ralph Fox. Reasonably early die state, with well struck devices: note, especially, the rounded curls over and around Liberty’s ear. Portions of the underlying 0 survive, bottom left and top right of the first 1 in the date. Thick, cakey luster rolls beneath an antique grey patina. Minor contact marks may account for the conservative grade; none deserve mention. The rarity of accurately graded mint state examples of this overdate is reflected in their auction performance. This example is worth a stretch! Acquired at the Jan. 2013 FUN Show, a jewel from Dick Graham’s magnificent collection of capped bust halves. Graham, author of the standard reference work on reeded edge bust halves, purchased this coin in the 1990’s when your cataloguer offered selections from the Ralph Fox Collection (includeding a mint state 1807 Small Stars). Est. $7,000 to $8,000.
