Lot Description

Ex Floyd Farley.  Superior eye appeal.   Pale blue iridescent toning with occasional gold and rose highlights.  Immaculate surfaces are a nice bonus.  Floyd Farley consigned the coin to Mail Bid Sale No.23 in February 1999.  I removed it from its kraft envelope and offered this description of lot 10: AU 50+ but expect a higher grade from the grading services.  There may be too much eye appeal for a mere”50.”  Tim Osborne prevailed at $432.  Ah, the good old days ….   Estimate: $800 to $1,000
