Lot Description

Brilliant with fabulous cartwheel luster and immaculate surfaces.  Dipped, of course, but never cleaned or wiped.  A toning spot inside star 5 is the sole distraction.  The strike is remarkable.  Every detail of the central devices is sharp.  This coin was featured in The Scotsman’s Nov. 2021 sale of an old collection that was rife with fresh-to-the-market, high grade bust halves.  It took $6,142 to land this remarkable 1818.  Yes, it’s that nice!  Estimate: $4,000 and up
