1827 Sq. Base 2 - O.121 R.3 PCGS AU 58 CAC
Superb album toning with virtually pristine surfaces. A great many coins were cleaned before being stored in one of Wayte Raymond’s albums. This enchanting coin exudes originality. The 1827 O.121 shares its obverse with two rarities, the R.5 O.122 and R.5- O.123. It was 3rd in line; the strike, therefore, is generally blunt. There are anomalous exceptions, including the fully struck Overton plate coin and two or three proofs. Acquired at Superior’s Sept. 2008 Pre-Long Beach Sale, lot 210. Est. $1,800 to $2,500.
