1826 -  O.118a R.1 PCGS MS 63 CAC OGH

One of a handful of coins to qualify as wholly original.  The surfaces are immaculate.  The lovely toning probably came from storage in tissue paper and/or a National Coin Album.  I suspect that the family that preserved this one for us over many generations lived in a dry climate.  We know the coin was encapsulated sometime between 1993 and 1998.  From the Cape Cod Collection.  Est. $2,300 to $3,000.
