Losbeschreibung

Should someone offer a bet that you will find a mark on this remarkable coin, don’t take it!  The surfaces, shrouded in original sunset colors, are impeccable.  Full luster illuminates the fields.  I wonder whether a bit of darkness on Liberty’s cheek and bosom scared CAC.  Of the many working dies employed to strike coins in 1827 only one was prepared with a curl base 2.  Its first marriage was to the far more common O.146.  Tim found this coin in my bourse case during the January 2012 FUN Show.   Estimate: $2,750 to $3,250
