Lot Description

A worn obverse die (first used on the O.106) explains weakness in Liberty’s curls.  Colorful toning provides adequate compensation.  Pastel shades of rose and gold intermingle with subtle to vibrant splashes of iridescent turquoise.  In all, a feast for the eye – on an R.4+ die pair!  From the Kings Park Collection.  Estimate: $1,200 to $1,500
