Lot Description

From the collection of Keith Davignon.  The pioneer psychologist Carl Jung would peg the coin as an archetype of grey-dirt.  The patina showcases underlying luster and is blessed with a diaphanous hue of sea-green on the reverse, through the legend.  Davignon collected the coin from my offering of Dick Graham’s collection during the Jan. 2013 FUN Show.  His comment about the coin is brief and to the point: “Beautiful original skin.”  Est. $1,800 to $2,200.
