1812 -  O.103 R.1 PCGS AU 58 OGH

Untoned, with lovely surfaces and scintillating luster; the central devices are boldly struck.  A hint of friction on the cheek, nowhere else.  I enjoyed and agree with Keith’s comment, “A poster child AU 58.”  Purchased from the late Elliot Goldman at the Aug. 1989 ANA Convention.  Elliot, from Tucson, AZ, did business as Allstate Coin Co.  He was especially fond of bust halves (and 1909-Svdb cents).  He supplied Gehring Prouty and George Hamilton with many beautiful busties.  His bourse table was festooned with humorous signs.   Est. $3,000 to $3,750
