Lot Description

Rum'n'Cola Collection. Mintage: 31,360. 21 graded AU-55, 35 higher at PCGS. Scarce in any collectable grade, a relatively small emission preceded limited saving of these Charlotte products, leaving few truly "nice" examples in collector's hands today. A great strike leads off the list of accolades, followed closely by substantial luster that has persistently survived five points of wear. Much less abraded than most southern mint examples, very faint hairlines join with very few contact marks to affirm the choice grade level.
