Lot Description

Lot 1198 1803. Large 3. B-6, BB-255, Rarity 2. CAC GOLD APPROVED.PCGS graded AU-55. PQ.A wonderful example and undergraded by PCGS. When sold by us in 1975, it was one of the finest known examples and described as About Mint State. Beautiful blue and golden toning. Just graded for the first time. This coin should be carefully viewed and assesed as the grading seems rather harsh given its charms and quality. The pedigree speaks for itself too. Pop 4; 4 finer at PCGS for the variety.(PCGS # 40101) Estimated Value $5,000 - UP Ex 1975 ANA Auction, Lot 1035; Ex Ostheimer, Metcalf and Doug Bird.
