Lot Description

Mostly brilliant, the reverse with mildly irregular silver-grey toning.  Bold luster throughout.  The coin walked into a Central Valley California coin shop some years ago.  “A family heirloom,” said the owner, as she reluctantly parted with it.  PCGS agreed with the shop-owner’s assessment that the coin had never circulated, being carefully preserved in a felt bag over the years.   Estimate: $1,400 to $1,900
