Lot Description

From the collection of Al C. Overton, as noted on the NGC label. A third offering from the fabled Overton Collection! (See lots 76 and 80.) This example was plated in Overton's 3rd, edition. It was lot 129 in my 2013 ANA Sale, MB 37, bringing $847: Soft, unbroken luster rolls beneath even, pale gold toning. The surfaces are first rate. This well struck coin is from an early state of the dies. The small dot next to the date is as bold as I've seen. Another Overton Plate coin with excellent eye appeal. Est. $750 to $950.
