Lot Description

Glossy battleship grey toning with abundant underlying luster.  Exceptionally nice surfaces.  The familiar die injury, motto to left wing, makes for rapid-fire attribution.  Though an R.1 die pair, recall that 1814 is a challenging date to find in “58,” tougher in fact than 1811s and 1812s.  Last offered in Heritage’s 2017 FUN Show Sale, lot 4223, bringing $3,612.  Yes, this is a nice`14-103!   Estimate: $2,500 to $3,500
