1819/8 Sm. 9 - O.101 R.1 PCGS AU 58 CAC
Though rated R.1, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen a choice AU example of this Red Book variety. The Eliasberg coin, also PCGS AU 58 with a CAC sticker, sold a year ago for over $3,900. Nothing since. This piece is beautifully struck. The brilliant, untoned surfaces are awash in luster and devoid of marks. A bit of antique toning flutters through ES OF AM on the reverse. Nice! Est. $2,500 to $3,500.
