Lot Description

Ex Dr. Charles Link. Link provenance noted on the PCGS label.  The 1810 O.109a is a sticky R.4.  I find no record of a PCGS graded example higher than VF 30 offered at auction in the last several years.  This delicately toned example features full cartwheel luster.  A feathery drift mark (imperfection in the planchet) runs through the left wing from the legend above.  The surfaces, while clashed and lightly wiped, are virtually free of contact marks.  Acquired privately from Eye Appealing Coins for $2,900. Estimate: $1,000 and up
