Lot Description

The double profile at Liberty’s nose and chin is unusual on this date.  A blanket of light auburn toning developed ages ago.  Soft luster and smooth surfaces confirm the AU designation.  A few bits of crud lie inside the vertical stripes on the shield.  Similarly PCGS graded examples of this scarce die pair from the Osborne and Meyer collections brought $1,760 and $2,393 last year.  Estimate: $1,500 to $1,800
