Lot Description

The luster is as bold and fresh as the day it dropped from the press, 205 years ago.  The evenly struck devices are beautifully impressed.  Not a hint of friction on the high points.  An “upgrade” candidate, as are many still housed in PCGS “Old Green Label Holders.”  From the Davignon Collection, acquired privately in February 2002.  Est. $3,000 to $3,500.
