Losbeschreibung

Sharpness and eye appeal match the PCGS grade for this popular variety.  The A in STATES was punched over an “inadvertent” E, as noted in the Red Book.  Luster survives in protected areas, notably the reverse legend.  An even coat of natural grey toning suggests storage in an appropriate, nonreactive environment.  No blemishes deserve mention.  From an Eastern Collection, replete with eye appealing early half-dollars.  The A over E variety carries a 10% to 15% premium over other 2-Leaf varieties according to the PCGS Price Guide (currently suggesting a retail price of $7,500 in VF 35).   Est. $5,500 to $6,500.
