Lot Description

From the collection of Don Frederick, noted on the PCGS label.  Untoned with strong cartwheel luster and very smooth surfaces.  Struck from the same obverse die as the preceding O.146; married to a different reverse.  The O.147 is distinctly scarcer than the O.146, a fact not always reflected in prices realized.  From the collection of Tim Osborne who acquired the coin privately in April 2013.  This was lot 3173 in Heritage’s April 2010 sale of the Frederick Collection.  Est. $900 to $1,300.
