1827 Sq. Base 2 -  O.125 R.3 PCGS AU 55 CAC

Ex Jules Reiver, as noted on the PCGS label.  Yet another coin with virtually pristine surfaces.  The natural grey toning is infused with refined iridescence.  Weak rims and a generally soft obverse impression are products of the late die state.  Lot 23030 in Heritage’s Jan. 2006 sale of the Reiver Collection as NGC AU 58.  Reiver’s envelope accompanies.  His scribbled attribution, “O.125b,” is a shorthand description of the die state.  He acquired the coin from his friend and BHNC stalwart, Don Frederick, Jan. 30, 1980. Est. $700 to $900.
