Lot Description

In a word, beautiful!  Album toning surrounds a grey and amber patina of truly ancient origin.  The die pair, long underrated, is RARE: R.7 without obverse die breaks, R.4+ with the breaks, as here.  I note that a PCGS VF 25 brought $1,000 in the Aug. 2022 Great Collections ANA Sale, lot 1149321.  This XF 45 will fit nicely in an AU set.  From the Kings Park Collection.  Estimate: $1,000 and up
