Lot Description

FROM THE HUNTER COLLECTION. Ex. Donald Frederick Collection, as noted on the holder. As "collectors of collectors" know, among Capped Bust nuts, Don Frederick was one of the giants of his day. His famous collection was dispersed in 2010, and most coins are impounded in collections. This one is an early die state with no die cracks or clashes that are typically seen for the variety. A warm, underlying mint glow radiates on both sides. Essentially Uncirculated, there is the barest trace of friction on either side. Impressive dove and gold accents add to the bold look. This coin also possesses an interesting edge lettering error, "E-49" which reads CENTS OR HALF A DOFLILFATRY, where OLLAR and FIFTY overlap. Ex Steve Ivy's April 1978 auction, lot 692. PCGS 97, NGC 30. What a great provenance, and worthy of a strong bid, which should bring it over the current Collector's Universe value of $2,700. A wonderful "GEM" AU for collectors of this very popular series, in a very popular grade. Cert. Number 16832020 PCGS # 006097
