Description du lot

From the Don Frederick Collection, noted on the PCGS label.  Frederick had several examples of this overdate.  This was his favorite, holding forth as his set-piece.  Scandalous original toning features electric, iridescent shades of turquoise, blue, gold, copper and antique grey.  This is “wow” coin for eye appeal.  The undisturbed surfaces are essentially without flaws.  It took $3,737 to bring it home in April 2010.  (Heritage Central States sale, lot 2974.)  It will cost more today– and be well worth it!  Frederick’s personal envelope accompanies the lot.  Est. $4,000 to $5,000.
