1809 III Edge - O.111a R.1 PCGS AU 55
Yes, a third example of this Redbook variety, one for every budget. The PCGS label memorializes the important provenance, “Meyer-Link.” Untoned save for a ring of copper at the rims. Bold luster befits the grade. Softness through the dentils is mandatory on this later die state. Meyer purchased the coin as a raw “AU 55” in Feb. 1986. He was the first to assemble a collection of all 450 Capped Bust die pairs listed in Overton. The next owner, Dr. Charles Link, became the third collector to do so - augmenting his assortment with the crushed lettered edge proofs of 1833-1834-1835. Est. $2,300 to $2,750.
