Description du lot

Another beautifully toned R.5 from the same consignor as the previous lot.  The pale gold patina, with splashes of pastel blue, probably derives from kraft envelope storage.  Myriad die breaks cross the reverse, attesting to the later die state.  The coin was acquired in February 1997 from a Massachusetts dealer.  A wise collector will do well to keep this coin and its O.113a companion together for another quarter century.  The consignor’s storage envelope and notes accompany. Estimate:  $2,000 to 2,500
