Losbeschreibung

A remarkable find, from the same eastern collection that yielded the earlier 1807 small stars (lot 54).  The surfaces, though gently wiped, are virtually free of contact marks.  Luster abounds beneath silvery-grey toning.  Veterans of die variety wars need no reminder of the difficulty one faces in finding a high-grade `09-110.  (I know of but 2 truly uncirculated examples.)  To make matters worse, the battlefield is swelled by Red Bookand PCGS Registry Set collectors homing in on the XXX Edge.  Let the battle begin!  Est. $3,500 to $5,000.
