Lot Description

“R.4” is the traditional dividing line between die varieties that carry a premium and those that don’t.  Here is one of the truly sticky R.4’s.  The detail of the coin is better than XF 40.  Too much luster survives.  The blunt strike, always found on the O.102, accounts for the PCGS grade.  The heavy double profile is a common feature of this date.  Est. $350 to $500.
