Lot Description

Ex Dr. Charles Link, noted on the PCGS label.  A flashy coin with bold luster and colorful peripheral toning.  The surfaces are immaculate.  Why only MS 61?  A guess is that the worn obverse die influenced the PCGS graders.  (This late die state was labeled O.105a until the BHNC delisted the subvariety.)  The 1832 O.105 is a “sleeper” in high grade.  The Brelsford coin is plated on PCGS’ CoinFacts.  No example is graded higher.  https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1832-50c-overton-105-small-letters/39862. Estimate:  $1,500 to $1,800
