Losbeschreibung

Raucous luster erupts from the untoned surfaces.  Excellent strike for the issue.  Essentially without faults, only whispers of friction prevented an MS designation for this important coin.  The demand for broken, patched and ugly 3 varieties of 1823 is unsated.  Two ugly 3’s graded AU 58 by PCGS appeared in my recent ANA sale (MB 45, lots 20 and 82).  They generated a flurry of bidding, yielding $7,994 and $7,150.  Disappointed underbidders lie in wait for this offering.    Est. $6,000 to $7,000.
