Lot Description

Brilliant with caky, undisturbed luster, begging for a Mint State designation.  Red Bookcollectors covet the “curl 2 w/ knob” variety.  Only the O.107 and rareO.106 qualify. An accompanying tag shows that the coin was purchased from Stack’s in May 1971.  It’s been away for a LONG time!  Estimate: $1,000 to $1,300
