Lot Description

EX: NAFTZGER COLLECTION, as noted on the insert. A DREAM coin for a high-grade type or date collection. Not only is this piece from a famous and storied collection, but it is also a knockout in terms of being the consummate brown example. Faded gorgeous warm brown color. Flawless surfaces. Exceedingly well struck, which can be unusual on this issue as often the pressure was uneven, or the dies were distressed and did not strike a strong impression. Usually, this anomaly is found in the leaves on the reverse where they lack definition. This piece is a welcome exception to that trait and exhibits full delineation of the veins in the leaves. PCGS 48, NGC 55, CAC 39. PCGS Price Guide list is $1,700. We sold a CAC piece in May 2021 in our Regency sale for $1,234. A generous bid will be required to secure this delightful piece! Cert.
