1825 -  O.112 R.3 PCGS MS 64 CAC

Oh my gosh!  What a gorgeous coin from Keith Davignon’s collection.  Rich, iridescent album toning circles the stars and legend.  The centers are a lovely pastel russet.  If you seek a gem quality bust half, one to put envy in the hearts of your colleagues, here is your coin.  Years back I failed to find an answer to a pair of questions posed by now retired Portland, OR dealer Steve Estes.  Steve inquired, “Why pay twice as much for an MS 65 when a nice MS 64 is available?  What can you see on an MS 65 that you can’t on an MS64?”  Est. $4,000 to $5,000.
