1807 Lg. Stars -  O.114 R.3 PCGS MS 63


Another long-hidden rarity.  The consignor purchased it raw (from your cataloguer) in 1989.  My failing memory cannot pull up the pre-sale source of this stunning coin.  The fully lustrous surfaces are bathed in original burnt-orange toning with rings of blue, rose and turquoise iridescence at the rims.  The eye appeal is A+.  The coin likely sits at #3 or 4 in the Condition Census, behind the gem Newman and Pogue coins [PCGS MS 65 and 66] and, perhaps, the NGC MS 65 Pryor/Prouty example.  I look forward to wide-eyed looks of wonder when this coin is previewed in Denver.  Est. $20,000 and up.
