Lot Description

Ex John Crowley.  This is an eye-catching coin with gaudy luster, enhanced by splashes of colorful iridescence through the date and most of the stars.  Just two of 49 die pairs from 1827 feature a curl base 2.  This is the scarcer of the two.  Acquired from your cataloguer during the August 2001 ANA Convention where I was selling the nearly complete die variety set of John Crowley. Est. $2,000 to $2,750.
