1827 Sq. Base 2 -  O.127 R.5 NGC AU 55

Another “killer” 1827, especially in grades better than VF.  It last appeared in Heritage’s 2011 Winter FUN Show auction.  Lot 3707 was given a cursory description: This Choice AU representative is clearly within the Condition Census, and offers deep navy-blue, apple-green, and lavender toning.  The toning is indeed handsome.  An AU coin, however, should have significant luster.  This example falls a bit short.  Treat it as a lightly circulated, choice XF and you’ll be on track.  Est. $1,250 to $2,000.
