1825 -  O.115 R.3 PCGS AU 55 Gold CAC

From the collection of Dr. Tom Sears.  He found the coin in an NGC MS 62 capsule two years ago.  The crossover to PCGS yielded a 7-point demotion.  Ouch!  The good news, of course, is that the quality of the coin had not changed.  CAC recognized that fact, conferring a coveted gold sticker.  It is a challenge to find friction on the coin.  The virtually mark-free surfaces are blanketed in silver-grey toning.  The NGC label accompanies the lot.  Est. $500 and up.
